Apparently can be triggered by any of the following:-
Honeycomb is probably the one closest to my fear when it comes to my phobia for holes but still not exact.

Apparently can be triggered by any of the following:-
- Bread and bagels with seeds
- Cheese with holes
- Fruits with small seeds like strawberries, raspberries, papaya and kiwi
- Honeycombs, sunflowers and lotus seed pods
- Insects and bees
- Skin on snakes, lizards, frogs and other reptiles
- Soles of shoes
- Sponges
Honeycomb is probably the one closest to my fear when it comes to my phobia for holes but still not exact.
