Wooden cooking utensils that have been washed a bunch or raw wood popsicle sticks or those little wooden spoons that come with ice cream cups, all genuinely revolting 🤮

Cheap acrylic sweaters/yarn is also pretty bad

Thinking about the wood touching my teeth just makes me shiver. Ugh.

The spoons.. I always die inside a little when I see these out in the wild. Some food trucks around here use them and similar wooden forks. Even thinking about them gives me so much discomfort ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

Add clarinet reeds to that. That feeling of wood against teeth… great, now I’ll have shivers down my spine all day from thinking about it.
