Everyone has one or two or more....You know that texture, sound, taste...something that turns you into a sniveling wimp begging for mercy.
A common one is scratching a chalkboard. The sound is too much for most people.
For me, scratching a chalk board does absolutely nothing. But touch a nylon fabric and I'll run away begging you to stop (this includes sheers, pantyhose, and many other horrible things using this devil fabric). I can't stand the sound, and I definitely cannot touch it - I swear I feel every ridge in that fabric on every ridge of my finger (and especially thumb) tips. Just thinking about it makes my digits over-stimulated. Argh.
This issue with nylon seems normal to me, but BrassNuts kryptonite makes me laugh uncontrollably. His kryptonite is..... peach fuzz. Yes, peach fuzz. Peach fuzz/skinn touching him - especially in his mouth or on his fingers sends him into a seizure. (I am laughing typing this).
So, what is yours? Any other nylon-phobes out there? And what accounts for this response?

Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, just about any type of salad dressing. I wasn't born for America, and yet here I am.

Ha, ha...interesting thread. The chalk thing is right up there but I'm watching the NBA playoffs (full disclosure...I love basketball) and, right now, watching Stephen Curry's mouthguard dislpay while shooting fouls drives me up the wall!

I have the weird fabric affliction but for me its when it touches my mouth/teeth. if I try and pull my sleeves up while doing the dishes or put a rope in my mouth, my body just revolts.

Non cotton sheets.
Stephen Curry's mouthguard
Yeah...he certainly has a way with that. I've often wondered how many he goes through in a season.
Susan.
Edit: first three days of an off shore sail. I am sooooo seasick. I just go to the bunk with a bucket and return to the deck in about 3 days.

Fish.
That includes clams, oysters, and mussels. Especially clams, oysters, and mussels.
I'll catch them. I'll clean them. I'll cook them. ( fish ) But I'm not going to eat any.
I was hanging out for a couple weeks earlier this month in The Bay Area with a bunch of kite flyers, and every goddamn night except for one we had dinner at a seafood place.

^ Interesting.
Another one of mine is exoskeletons. Can't even look at them. For that reason, I cannot peel shrimp. I will eat them is someone else peels them, but absolutely cannot touch them. Blllerghhh.

Tami, I shudder in agreement. I remember in the early 90s my first time to Jtree, getting out the car and my first sensation was the mid-day heat baking the outhouse into a wall of stench that smacked me in the face.

Open mouth load chewing, there is a name for the phobia that slips my mind at the moment but I'm sure I got it. Drives me up the wall.

For me it's the smell of the rotten food that comes out from between my teeth when flossing. Insta-gag-and-vom technicolor yawn!
HAHAHAHAA! Sorry, but I'm laughing so hard here from this!
Cool - look at what I just found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

Remember the solar toilets on Whitney, now that was a real gagger.
Watching the tv show my six houndred pound life when they show skin removal surgery.

Chewing on wooden popsicle sticks, can not even have them in my mouth. It is ice cream sandwiches only for me.

hey there say, callie... interesting... i will think on this...
say, also, study, :O
as to this:
Chewing on aluminum foil.
oh my, done that before... rarely, but as a kid, so i know the
feel...
but, i just 'got over it fast' so no big deal...
ahh, i JUST NOW, know of one, callie, one of those 'things' ...
it is:
TRANSMISSION FUEL, :o
UGH,... first time i ever smelled it, i was pregnant and watching out the window, as, my then-father-in-law, was working on a transmission...
he was a simple small town, tex-mex area, guy, but:
he was AN EXPERT AND everyone, that knew of him, took their stuff to him!
well, even after i was pregant, i could never be around that ol'
smell of transmission fuel (or is it oil?) ... i think it was
a reddish thin type liquid, kind of amburish-burnt sienna- maroon color...
THAT'S it... :O
old quote from an article, i just now looked at:
A few years ago, virtually every transmission fluid was red; technicians would aptly describe a transmission with exceptionally clean fluid as being “cherry.” Today, many manufacturers have begun to stray from the traditional red color.
edit:
oh, i DO know that many folks can't stand burnt chicken feathers...
