I'm afraid of drinking through a straw. I'm convinced (against all logic) that I'm going to inhale it and choke.
However, I recently started drinking through a straw again at my dentist's recommendation, to protect my teeth from carbonation. I have a set of reusable metal ones. They don't trigger my phobia at all. Maybe the texture makes all the difference.
Human brains have the strangest triggers.
'This exact thing will definitely kill me, this nearly identical thing is fine.'
Existence is wild.
