Misunderstandings often occur in the field when people have different ideas of what words mean in the Code. The NEC contains Art. 100 (see SIDEBAR: Whatâs in 100? below) for this very reason.

Trypo-Phobia or Trypophobia is a pathological fear of holes in the skin. It is the phobia of holes or revulsion of patterns containing clusters of holes. Trypo-Phobia also called Trypophobia is real as behavioral or psychological fear. But there is no medical condition know to cause skin holes. Therefore, almost all of pictures floating around the internet showing holes in the skin, flesh, face, hands or body are fake and photoshopped.
But now, a study in the journal Psychological Science attempts to explain the fear. Researchers Geoff Cole and Arnold Wilkins of the Centre for Brain Science at the University of Essex based their research on images posted on Trypophobia.com. They've concluded that it is not the holes that these people fear. Instead, their brains associate the holes with danger. What kind of danger they sense, exactly, is still being studied. According to site, the fear covers clustered holes in skin, meat, wood, plants, coral, sponges, mould, dried seed pods and honeycomb.
