I have this...
but so much worse than a lot of people
obviously, it's hard to take seriously, but it's very effective on me
I feel sick, dizzy, uncomfortable and emotional when I see pictures like...this
I think I'm getting better though...
slowly but surly

I seriously couldn't look at this for more than 5 seconds... it made my stomach churn. So if it makes you feel any better, you arent alone ^-^

I'm happy to hear :,D
No one I know believes this is an actual fear
but to be honest, it effects me greatly.
I refuse to travel to any place tropical because my biggest fear are bot flies
my dad tells me they are uncommon but I'm paranoid
I'll just stay here
in my room
safe

Bot flies...? Unng.. nevermind. Don't want to know
But no really, I don't think people think it's silly, I just heard it was sort of almost a "trendy" phobia. That people wanted to feel like special snowflakes  because they were slightly grossed out by something.
But no, That's the problem! There's people out there with a legitimate psychological reactions to these things like you and it ain't right to just assume they are overreacting!  
But it doesn't mean you should hide, really. You can get help.
