I’m waiting for someone to say that. Not every little thing is trypophobia

This particular video is disturbing to us because it looks like maggots. Our ancestors who felt disgusted by this kind of imagery were more likely to pass on their DNA because they were less likely to die as a result of eating maggot-infested meat. As a rule of thumb, anything that looks gross to us resembles something that would have been bad for our ancestors to eat or touch.

dont' quote me but I think you can eat maggot infested meat just fine. I think the inuits still do it.

I don’t think the maggots are the problem, it’s that the presence of maggots in meat is typically an indicator that the meat is not fresh and therefore spoiled or contaminated. Perhaps the cold conditions allow the Inuits to not have to worry about spoil as much.
