The type of shapes that elicit a reaction were stated to include clustered holes in skin, meat, wood, soil, plants, wounds and bubbles, and that upon seeing these shapes, some people said they felt their skin was crawling, shudder, feel itchy, experience panic attacks, sweat, palpitate and feel nauseous. Some said the holes seemed "disgusting and gross" or that "something might be living inside those holes.
