Is it normal that porcupines terrify me?

Actually, more than porcupines. Hedgehogs might be the worst. They look like they're covered in extra pointy grains of wild rice. The fact that these creatures are covered in quills grosses me out!! I imagine the quills being brushed against the grain and every hair on my body stands on end in pure revulsion.

One time, I had a dream that my old dog had sesame seeds instead of fur, and I was brushing her against the grain. I woke up so freaked out that I couldn't pet her, even though she was obviously furry!

Blech! Even just writing this, I feel icky and nauseous and hair-sticky-uppy!! Is this normal, or am I truly a freak?
