Hello. My name is Jennifer Smith. I have an extreme aversion to cotton balls, and a Facebook account I’m not afraid to use.

Squeak! Screech! Those creepy things that make us cringe

The flu hit Jennifer L. Smith hard. The Allentown woman suffered from symptoms for two weeks, including fever, chills and coughing.

But in some ways, being confronted by the cotton wadded under the cap of a new bottle of Tylenol was the worst part.

The allthingsjennifer.com blogger vented on her Facebook page: “Am I the only one out there who HATESHATESHATES cotton balls and the feel of them? I opened a new big bottle of Tylenol and there it was staring at me. AAAAH! Would I rather have a fever, or feel that cotton scratch along the side of the bottle? Tough choice.”
