Anyone else get the shivers if you touch the cotton in an aspirin bottle?

I've only met one other person that has this problem, and another whose daughter has it. Who else hates to touch that cotton? It gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

    I didn't know I did until now. I swear. The thought of me having to pull that cotton out of there makes me....ugh!!!! I just didn't know. Now I realize what I go through when I have to. I bite down really hard and almost hold my breath until I get it out. Just plain ol' weird. Yeah..thanks a lot for the neurosis. Like I really needed 1 more.

    I can imagine how you feel. My sister and I cannot stand something like cotton in someone's mouth, like a kid chewing on its shirt. I think it is inherited. I think my mother had it too. It is just a weird feeling that comes over my teeth when I see it, hard to explain to someone who doesn't have it.

    Not me but I used to shiver at touching pulpy paper in a paperback book.

    Not cotton, but popcicle sticks. I can't even stand to see someone else lick one.
