What is something at completely grosses you out?

I have a pretty high tolerance to gross, I worked at a roadside divebar for a few years.
It's interesting how a lot of it comes down to social programing.
Earlier today, I was thinking about how much cockroaches gross me out.
But like why is that? We as westerners are brought up to think cockroaches are gross. But what makes cockroaches different from any other bug?
"They are popularly depicted as dirty pests, though the great majority of species are inoffensive and live in a wide range of habitats around the world."
Anyway What is something that grosses you out? Why does it gross you out?

Rotting food. Not sure why exactly, it's just like an involuntary biological reaction. If I get too close to it in person for an extended period of time, then I end up almost dry heaving no matter what I do to distract myself. Psychologically I can handle it fine, but my body just like rejects it.

0-o yeah that must be pretty bad. As far as an oder id day the smell death is distinctly terrible and perhaps, like nooneman said, also because of evolution.

I knew a guy in high school who had roaches, they made the whole house smell and they were fucking everywhere, that grossed me out
even my building had roaches, but it wasnt a infestation, I would see one single roach at nighttime maybe every 3-4 months, that didnt really gross me out, but they were fast, I would try to kill it but he would get away
people eating snails gross me out, im usually pretty open to new foods, I also dont know how tourist to place like Thailand try tarantula

I also strongly strongly am grossed out by cockroaches. Even if they're dead, I will suck them up with the longest vaccum hose I have rather than get close.
It's not because of any logical fear, like fear of them spreading disease. Where I live it's common to see them a few times a year even if your place is clean; we exterminate but they're hard to eliminate completely and they come looking for water.
For me, it's a primal reaction that comes from somewhere deep in my brain, outside of my conscious control. Something about their size, plus the way they scuttle... ugh. Spiders, flies, beetles, even truly harmful insects like ticks, aren't nearly as gross to me as cockroaches. When I see them I get an instant reaction of being grossed out plus fear.

Hmmm, saving a bunch of popped zits in a jar so you can use them like butter on toast with jelly. Drinking a glass full of various different loogies from very thick and gelatinous to thin and mucousy, omg, I'm getting nauseous! Open weeping syphilitic pustules oozing pus. Babies eating food, shit of any kind form anyone or thing including me, lol!

Count me as another disgusted by cockroaches. And yeah I have thought about how it's odd since they're harmless. I mean yeah I guess they could pass along diseases but when's the last time you've heard of a person dying via cockroach disease. There's just something visceral about them that bugs me out. Yet I love snakes (for example) and am fascinated by them...particularly venomous ones. Yet a harmless cockroach will give me the shivers. Doesn't make any sense, lol.
Bedbugs also horrify me. Just the stories of infestations. And how they actively prey on you. They're like little vampires who live in beds solely because their favorite food source (humans) spend lots of time in beds. They wait for you to go to sleep and then stalk you and suck your blood. Shit's crazy. And then they multiply. I saw some YouTube videos of infestations that would make you want to burn the entire building down with ether. Oh and pictures of them on the internet feeding on people in these little gross clusters. Stuff of nightmares I tell ya.

I wish I had easier access to elderberries here in the states. I found some juice one time, but then never saw it again. I think I can get dehydrated/powdered berries, but what I'd really love to have around is an actual tree. Always been especially drawn to those tress. My yard is mostly rock, though...not sure I could get away with trying to plant one.

the one thing that really makes me almost reflex hurl on sight is when you discover human filth in the bathroom or somewhere that hasnt been cleaned up that you have to come in close contact with. Filth of any kind that comes from a human that is unflushed or left in the sink or urinal. Or when people spit too much at once

Putrid stench of a dead body left in a hot apartment bedroom to bloat and secrete various types of septic body fluids. That was while working part time for an apartment maintenance crew. Apparently the guy died in his sleep long before we arrived to check the apartment out because the landlord thought buddy ducked out on rent.
Will never forget that smell.

True story here too. There was a guy who was shot in the cab of a pickup truck and it was in summer in Texas. I was about 11yo. The truck was sitting in the back of the apartments we lived in. Me and my brother were outside and there was a bunch of fishing equipment in the back of the truck, under a camper shell.
A maintenance man is picking up trash along the fence where the truck was parked, and another one was fixing an air conditioner. The guy poking trash with those sticks drops his shit and yells at the other guy to not let us near the truck. That's when I noticed the cab had millions of flies in it and it looked painted red on the inside.
Other guy keeps us away from the truck. Cops come, ambulance, firetruck, and news people. Our apartment just happen to over look that parking lot and we were on the 2nd floor. We had the window open. A man yells up at us to shut the window because it will smell really bad. They start to pull the man out of the truck. He was all bloated, blue, green, and just completely decomposing and putrefying.
They zipped him in a plastic bag in case he exploded. One of my friends (there were probably 8-10 of us up there looking out) opens the fucking window to be a little shit, I will never forget that smell either! (I have a couple more dead guy stories actually). All is done, everyone leaves. BUT, they take the truck and throw fucking chlorine crystals all over inside the cab and leave the fucking thing parked at the back of the complex!
Well, being the little weirdo I am, and my brother, we go to look inside the truck. There was still a piece of his brain laying on the seat, and his body fluids had leaked out of him enough so that in the corner of the truck where the door and body meet, that seam there, the fluid had leaked out and formed a stalactite scab, and was still slowly dripping! Again, I'll never forget that! The truck stayed in the complex another couple of weeks, Texas. It was the late 70s.

You'll have to be more specific about the poisonous fumes otherwise I won't believe you. Regardless, I made sure the putrid potato got as far away from me as practicable, as soon as possible. I didn't take it into a confined space in order to huff it - amazingly enough.

Solanine is not volatile, the site is incorrect in that regard.
Maybe rotting potaties spread highly toxic gases like HCN or H2S but the solanine, while quite toxic, is not volatile.

That article is almost complete garbage. Solanine is not the culprit. The rotting potatoes may have used up the oxygen in the poorly-ventilated cellar, causing an asphyxiant hazard. One potato dug out of a veg patch outdoors does not constitute such a hazard.
[Sprouted and green potatoes do constitute a health hazard. A relatively large number of school children were poisoned in the UK back in the 1950's after they were fed potatoes which had been stored in the kitchen at their school over the summer holidays. The school cooks were being too reluctant to throw out any food as this was still during the post WW-II rationing period.]
Solanine is actually good for me personally. It's great for certain skin conditions (but still toxic, you have to know what you're doing.)
