I hope it’s okay to post a follow up question but this post made me think of this—I get the same feeling of nails on a chalkboard when I’m eating any sort popsicle with a wooden stick, the feeling of biting on the stick part is the part that bothers me. Just imagining it gives me an uncomfortable feeling. Does this feeling stem from the same frequency thing, or is it something else?
