I can't bring myself to bite into a whole apple!

My 80ish mother was afraid to bite directly into apples.

Because in her day apples actually contained WORMS sometimes.

To this day I quarter and pare the seeds out - only because easier to eat.

That might have just reinforced your fear...sorry!

im allways scare some worm or something will be in my apple so i think its normal.

you should try getting an apple peeler. those things are amazing. some take out the core AND peel it for you. the best $30 ive ever spent

Have you ever asked your parents about this? It might just be that something happened once that you don't even remember?

My sister always cuts up her apples when she eats them... I don't think she even realizes it anymore. But it started when she bit into an apple and it took out her front tooth. That was in grade school, and the tooth was loose already.

Or maybe you heard a story from someone else when you were young. You might be amazed at how much things we don't even remember anymore affect the way we do things.

that's definately not normal. you should be talking to a therapist about your crazy apple - eating issues dude.

this isn't normal, but weird phobias happen to come out at random times. I'm just not sure if this one has a name yet... =P
