While research on the proposed phobia has been limited, researchers Arnold Wilkins and Geoff Cole, who claim to be the first to scientifically investigate trypophobia, believe the reaction to be based on a biological
revulsion, rather than a learned cultural fear.
[3] In a research article they wrote for
Psychological Science, Wilkins and Cole discussed that the reaction is based on a brain response that associates the shapes with danger. The type of shapes that elicit a reaction were stated to include "clustered holes in skin, meat, wood, plants, coral, sponges, mould, dried seed pods and honeycomb" and that observing these shapes made individuals suffering from trypophobia feel "that their skin is crawling, shudder, feel itchy and physically sick". Some stated reasons behind this fear are that the holes seem "disgusting and gross" or that sufferers are afraid that they "might fall in these holes" or that "something might be living inside those holes"
