This essay, by a writer whom I have never before read, is interesting because it is about a subject I have never given any thought to: tactile heebie-jeebies. None of the examples he cites cause me the slightest discomfort. The only tactile heebie-jeebies inducer I can think of is one I have not had occasion to experience in decades: chewing a piece of foil (like from a candy wrapper) with your fillings-filled teeth.
