There's a study showing about 1 in 6 people have it to some degree, so relatively common. It's just that the images that trigger it are specific and rare, for me the clustering and the type of holes have to be just right, but if it is, ick

The way I learned about it was someone posted a picture specifically meant to trigger it on 4chan to troll people, and it haunted me enough to look into it.
