If I remove it from the container in put it on a plate or napkin, I'm mildly disgusted that it touched the styrofoam, but the gag reflex disappears.

I also hate the sensation of tearing cotton, like when you tear a cotton ball in half. It sends shivers up my spine. Nothing like the styrofoam, but if I have to pull cotton apart, it is somewhat disagreeable. This is a touch sensation trigger, not a sound or visual like styrofoam.

Double yep. (On the styrofoam). Makes my skin crawl. I have sensitive ears and a bit of tinnitus from prior ear injuries, so loud clapping or sharp sounds really hurt as well. It's a drag, have to wear ear plugs a lot.
