I’d say without doubt I do to some degree.

Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes, or bumps.[3][4] The condition is not officially recognized as a mental disorder, and is rarely referenced in scientific literature, but may fall under the broad category of specific phobia if fear is involved and the fear is excessive and distressing.[1][3] People may express only disgust or both fear and disgust to trypophobic imagery.[3]

The understanding of trypophobia is limited.[3] Although few studies have been done on trypophobia, researchers hypothesize that it is the result of a biological revulsion that associates trypophobic shapes with danger or disease, and may therefore have an evolutionary basis.[1][3]

I doubt I do, but it depends on how one define "aversion". I'm intrigued by irregular patterns; not sure if I'm averse to them.

Haven’t seen this one but years ago there was a pic of the same thing (I think that’s a lotus plant) photoshopped into a lady’s nipple, that was the first time I realized that clustered holes bothered me.

All of those gross me out, so yes.

I actually have a very weird relationship with hollow stuff. My earliest memory of it was when I was very young - like 5. We had a leak that had to be repaired in the ceiling over the kitchen. The ceiling had a hole cut in it while the repairs were being made. To this day, I know my parents fixed me a bowl of Cookie Crisp, but I was so disturbed by the hole in the ceiling that I couldn't eat it and I haven't had it since that day.

Then it moved to hollow chocolate bunnies. I'd get them for Easter, and couldn't stomach the idea. Parents would try to feed them to me when I was young, and I refused. As I got older, I ended up hiding them for months until my parents found them and threw them away.

Now there are all kinds of hollow items that freak me out. I just thought of one the other day, and now I can't recall what it was. But even that armadillo egg tailgate food gives me the willies.

EDIT - That's what it was: BUGLES. I was terrified of them as a kid.

I had a dream once when I was a kid that I poked a hole in my finger and I looked inside it and some creature had hollowed out my entire finger.

People just don't like the idea of something living inside another living creature it's not supposed to be in.

I used to be bothered by that idea until I realized that it's very rare for this to happen to humans. Our immune system kicks arse. And plus we have more bacteria cells living in us than human cells so it's a lost cause.
