Recently, many diseases have spread that some consider to be somewhat strange, and among these problems is tropophobia, cheese phobia, or fear of holes.
Hole phobia is also known as trypophobia, and it is a feeling of extreme discomfort or fear when seeing a group of holes or circles very close together, as in a strawberry or a beehive in a cheese block.
What are the triggers for phobia of holes?
Dr. Ahmed Mostafa, a mental health consultant, confirmed that the phobia of holes is a rare psychological disease that affects a group of the world’s population. It is likely that a person will have a negative reaction to an object or an image whenever they approach it.
Triggers for hole phobia, according to a mental health consultant, may include bread, cheese with holes, fruits with small seeds such as strawberries, raspberries, papayas and kiwis.
Also, honeycombs, sunflowers and lotus seeds are catalysts for this type of disease, in addition to insects and bees, the skin of snakes, lizards, frogs and other reptiles.
How common is a phobia of holes?
Some studies suggest that up to 17% of children and adults, or about one in six people, have some degree of phobia of holes, a fairly new disorder first named in 2005.
Experts don’t know why some people develop a phobia of holes. One theory is that the brain associates clusters of holes with danger. For example, you might associate a pattern of small holes with the skin of a venomous snake, or the holes might remind you of skin diseases or rashes.
Another theory is that your brain uses more energy and oxygen to process the mashing patterns, which leads to feelings of malaise, and it may also be a feature of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Nutrition expert: Refraining from eating cheese is a health threat
For her part, Dr. Zainab Bayoumi, a clinical nutritionist, explained that dairy and cheese products are foods that are beneficial to the human body.
The nutritionist indicated that the phobia of holes is one of the diseases that prevent its owner from enjoying the benefits and advantages of dairy and cheese products.
The nutritionist confirmed that cheese provides the body with appropriate calcium and minerals that help in healthy body growth, in addition to boosting the immune system.
