I'm sure I could do it if I was forced to, but rarely does anyone force me to cut potatoes. So if they have eyes, they go in the trash can.

My older brother always thought it was hilarious and would chase me around the house with them. I am 22 years old and to this day, I cry if I am forced to cut them from the potato.

Not many other ordinary things bother me like this. It just seems so unnatural how a potato in a dark pantry can sprout large growths. I just don't understand. I was searching if others shared this fear and the pictures on sites were making me anxious and sick feeling. I’m horrified of sprouting potatoes. Not many other ordinary things bother me like this.

My whole family knows about my fear and they constantly try to trick me by setting one on the tv remote or something like that. Two years ago for christmas I got a present from my aunt and when i opened it up, it was a potato with huuuuuge spindly eyes that were about 6 inches long. I think my fear started because I'm terrified of worms, and one day my mother had the nerve to say that they looked like white disgusting worms crawling their way out of a potato. I haven't been the same since. Recently, my mother thought it would be funny to demonstrate my fear to my new boyfriend and so she shoved one at me and I screamed and ran away and hid in a corner, shaking and crying. This is a sincere problem. Wow, I thought I was alone in this fear but it seems there are many others who share this.

I've hated those potatoes for as long as I can remember. Every time I see even the smallest little eye I run away and start crying! My family thinks I'm crazy for it but they still never ask me to get the potatoes from the cupboard or anything :) Oh my god, I’m so glad I found out I’m not alone in this horrible fear.

Im so relieved to find other people with a similar phobia. My friends actually laugh in my face when I tell them but im am sincerely freaked out by potato eyes. It all started with a bizarre dream when I was 4 or 5. It involved the sprouts wrapping themselves around me. It absolutely terrorized my and I've avoided raw potatoes ever since. Just recently, my grandmother pulled out a potato with sprouts and I just burst into tears.. scared the life out of me.
