Swimming pool drains. I panic if I get above one. No idea why. I used to love swimming/diving as a kid but I always made sure to stay as far away as I can from the drains. I didn't go to a swimming pool for like 20 years (mostly because of body dysforia but the drains did play a role as well), only recently I've been to a spa - and I'm like a cat with a cucumber around the drains.
Oh, and leeches. Never want to see one of those fuckers in real life.
Also I have a fear of getting worms. One of my late cats got that type which, if in a wrong host, can travel to the eyes.
Not irrational; I've seen a crab get sucked through a tiny slit into an underwater pipe, shell and all. There's YT footage I won't post to save your sanity.
Delta P (difference is pressure) can be absolutely terrifying.
i wouldn't recommend looking into it but a fear of pool drains is not illogical. the pressure differences have caused some absolutely horrifying deaths, albeit only a few ever
Yea, I won't look into it. ๐
