As we all know, anyone can post virtually anything on the internet. Thus there are many disgusting, scary, and weird things to find all over the web. Strange afflictions, naturally-occurring bodily functions, terrifying animals, and freaky videos only tip the iceberg of the things that you can see through a simple search. Here we’ve compiled a list of just a few Things You Shouldn’t Search On Google.

6. Seriously, Severus?
If you type “Snapewives” into Google, you’ll be confronted with a weird tale of women who believe that they’re all married to—yes you probably guessed it—Severus Snape from Harry Potter. These women write romance novel-esque stories about their relationships with the fictional character, mostly things they fantasize about doing with the evil-but-not-really professor from Hogwarts. From time to time these women even meet up and take turns channeling the spirit of Snape so that they can hold wedding ceremonies where they go through the rituals of binding themselves to the character forever. Alan Rickman would probably be a little weirded out by this kind of behavior; we certainly are.
5. Huge Problem
“Elephantiasis” is one symptom that can arise from many different diseases and afflictions where a part of someone’s body swells up to gigantic proportions. With one typed word and the enter key, you can see for yourself just what we mean. There are many different types of elephantiasis, including Proteus Syndrome, which is the genetic disorder with which the famed “Elephant Man” was burdened. It really is no laughing matter considering it can cause extreme pain and intense shame to those unlucky enough to have it happen to them. This one isn’t as bad as some on the list, so search away if you’d like, but remember: do so at your own risk.
4. How to Pull off Various Crimes
It’s probably best not to do any real, in-depth research into how to pull off criminal acts considering it’s pretty well-known by now that our virtual worlds are regularly monitored by the FBI and other government organizations. Unless you’re writing a novel and need to research a specific scenario, you likely won’t have a substantial reason to give the men in black suits that show up at your door soon after your search. We’re not kidding, it has happened. In 2013, a family had to deal with six agents from a terrorism task force showing up at their door after their combined searches for things as innocent as pressure cookers, backpacks, and the teenage sons browsing of CNN got them red-flagged. Be careful what you look for on the internet because you never know who’s watching.
3. Mucus What?
“Mucus Plug.” This here Google search will take the unsuspecting to a place they probably don’t want to go. It is one of the more, um, interesting parts of pregnancy and childbirth. It’s natural, so it’s not all that bad when you think about the fact that all of our mother’s had one—okay, nevermind, that might make it even worse. Just take our word for it and don’t research the term. You might be left a little queasy if you do.
2. Tiny, Scary Sarlacc Pit
Try typing “Lamprey Eel” into Google and you’ll find something that quite resembles the man-eating pit made famous in Star Wars. This creature is only unofficially called the Lamprey Eel; the correct name is Lamprey. Lamprey’s are jawless fish, and there are 38 known species today. 18 species of Lamprey are parasitic and latch onto other fish and then suck their blood for nutrients. These parasitic demons are the most widely-known, as they are the most terrifying. Lamprey are usually, long, scaleless fish, ranging from 5 to 40 inches in length and are found residing mainly in rivers. Some do migrate to the sea, others to lakes, making nowhere seem safe. Attacks on humans are rare, but from time to time a starved Lamprey will go for the gold. Just make sure there are plenty of other fish in the sea if you decide to go swimming anywhere these scary little buggers live.
1. Trypophobia
Ahhh, we can’t even believe that we Googled this just to bring you a report as to why you shouldn’t search for it. It’s one of the more sickening things we found on our search for things not to Google, therefore making it number one on this list. Trypophobia is a phobia dealing with patterns and clusters of little holes, bumps, or anything that looks like a beehive. Researchers believe that the phobia has something to do with a natural aversion to and revulsion of trypophobic shapes due to dangers and disease, and is thought to be evolutionary. It is not recognized as a real, verified disorder but plenty of people experience Trypophobic symptoms such as panic attacks, nausea, sweating, and even itchy skin when confronted with a trypophobic image. There is currently no real treatment program although it’s thought that exposure therapy may help. For now, just avoid Googling Trypophobia, and you should be all good. We, on the other hand, are forever scarred.
