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.

People who are convinced that they know the absolute truth.
Beyond that, any repulsive sights or smells don't bother me much.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

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!

So, how do you feel about elderflower cordial?
I was completely grossed out yesterday by a rotting potato, like a giant pustule oozing foetid, spunk-like liquid.

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.
