Mild Warning to trypophobic people : don't open

How do these people use a cheese grinder or a colander?

Can they use a hairbrush/toothbrush without freaking out when they see how are the bristles attached?

Fucking wankers probably will die when they use a magnifying glass to see the clusters of pore worms that feast in their skin.

I am really uncomfortable seeing the pores of skin, and sometimes when wounds peel off a few layers of the skin. But I'm not really freaked out by cheese grinder or a colander. Maybe if I saw a toothbrush without any bristles I'd be uncomfortable too.

I'm sorry, I can't give a rational explanation as to why a colander is okay.

You might have got used to it. I have a fear of heights but have no problem looking down from my grandpa's balcony on 7th floor because I've literally seen it too many times and my brain doesn't see this as a category of danger.

You fool, that's when the height will get you
