The source of trypophobia pneumonia
Does the photo below make you goosebumps? If so, don't worry because the world has 15% of people (18% of women, 11% of men) also feel uncomfortable when seeing holes or tumors and according to scientists, this is called trypophobia.
Why are people uncomfortable seeing holes or tumors?
After many studies, scientists have finally identified the source of this fear and it turns out, it is not only a psychological disease but also originated from the human biological and genetic nature first. The structures have different contrast than other things in nature.
In 2013, a study published in the journal Neuroscience spoke about the patient's feeling when faced with holes or heaving images such as honeycomb, soap bubbles: "It really is a disease. People can't face small, uneven objects, asymmetric hole clusters, . When someone shows a dislike, someone screams, cries . ".

Although trypophobia is called "a fear of holes" , when they deepen their research, scientists discovered that it was not just a fear and fear that was not just for holes. This obsession is not even recognized by the psychological community because it does not satisfy the definition of an obsession.
Arnold Wilkins, a researcher at Essex University, affirmed: " trypophobia is a form of disgust rather than fear and therefore, it is a form of overreaction of factors that can be dangerous . This disgust comes from certain clusters of objects and these objects do not necessarily have holes.When people with trypophobia in people look at disgusting images, the heart rate will increase, more chaos and activity at which part the visual processing brain will increase ".
Wilkins and his colleague Geoff Cole published a study of trypophobia in 2013 with the assumption that the underlying cause of this fear originated from the biological mechanism . Accordingly, people have evolved to fear the structures that may be dangerous in nature. To determine this effect, the researchers analyzed images on the trypophobia website, including images with holes but did not activate trypophobia to look for differences.
Result? The team found that this fear may have originated in evolution , helping people stay away from dangerous animals because they share the same trypophobia stimulus forms . On the other hand, the team also found that the specific contrast of some images would cause it to trigger trypophobia. In this way, they may find a way to limit and even treat future trypophobia.
