textures

[Alex]

this is proberly going to sound starange but i cant stand the smell or the feeling of rubber things like plastic dolls condoms earasers type thing cant stand the touch or smell or texture does anyone else have this problem?

[Creative]

Yes, I hate rubber gloves and anything else that has that texture.

[Alex]

I have to wear rubber gloves during first aids i have 2 wash me hands at least twice to get the smell off my hands really does smell

Can't go near anything with latex in as I get anaphlaxic shock....

[Alex]

that is really nasty i saw anfalatic shock on the TV once was awful

For me it is vinyl shower curtains, inflatable toys, totes, beach balls, etc. that nasty plastic smell when it is first opened (I'm getting nauseous just typing about it). I can't even have things like that in my house. If my kids have something like that..I have to put it outside until the smell dissipates! I can't stand the other stuff either..gloves, etc..but I recently learned that I have a latex allergy so that might explain those! I am ultra-sensitive to all kinds of smells...tastes...textures...sounds. My son was recently diagnosed with an autism disorder and a severe sensory processing disorder (as sensitive as can be on every measure)..now that I know there are such things as sensory processing disorders and developmental dyspraxia...my life just keeps making more and more sense *smile*

I have a simular thing to that i had plastic dolls cant stand them every time i see one iam like get that away from me like you i cant stand the smell of plastic things and rubber gloves

[Vier]

Yes. My mother had to buy me numerous types of underwear when I was little. I wasn't use to wearing it and I didn't like the texture of them. I dislike the texture of sandpaper or nail files and hate the sound they make too.

I hate the feeling of rubber.

[Tonyw4rrior]

For me its polysterine or cotton buds i cant stand. Any1 else effected by these?

[Loki]

Polystyrene is in my mind one of the worst things in the world… I literally flinch and twitch something chronic… I’ve tense up and all I’m doing is typing about it… when ever we have parcels with it in I get sent out of the living room until all the polystyrene as gone as even the noise is enough to set me off, wont go anywhere near it to touch it!

That and tearing cotton wool..

chalk/chalkboards. i used to do everything i could to get outta writing on them back in school.

[agsiul]

The killer is that I prefer to write on the blackboard because although I hate the feel of chalk and really hate it when it breaks I get more resistance from the blackboard so it is easier for me to write on it and my writing is better. When I have to write on the whiteboard it kills me. I have to use my little finger to try to keep my hand steady and when I'm finished I have a pain in my arm, hands, shoulder, etc.
