Let's get mundane shall we?

I like to brag that nothing will turn my stomach. I've spent weeks at a time in a hospital, my dad's a medic, I've watched "Kill Bill Vol. 1", "Kill Bill Vol. 2", "Sin City", "The Thing", and "Dawn of the Dead" all in one sitting, and the GTA Series makes me laugh...

But...everyone has that..."thing"...that makes them gag. For me, it's open sores...all oozy and...ich...

So...What might make you puke? No poll since everyone has different "issues".

I really hate the word icky,does that count?

Oy, that scene in Kill Bill 1 where *SPOILER* Lucy's scalp is chopped off made me feel a little woozy...

<_<

Do as you wish...

Bodily parasites will make me squirm, but I won't freak out. Other than that..nothing.

absolutely nothing. i've got a stomach made of steel. :D

As someone that's going to let his little brother watch both Kill Bill volumes tonight, it's cheese (if not on pizza), just about all fruit except for apples, watermelon, grape-fruit, and seedless grapes, or fish that will make me hurl.

All gore. No, not Al Gore...any sort of goryness...I hate those real life operation shows. Invariably, I'm flipping through channels, and I get a flash of a bared lower intestine or an eye operation...BLECK!

Icky...hmmm...bugs in the house. Not outside...that doesn't bother me. Just in the house. I get all grossed out...it makes me feel like the house is dirty.

I can handle a full and nasty diaper without a twinge of the stomach (2 children, roughly 4 diapers a day...I'm immune). But flip your eyelid inside out, or talk about eating boogers or phlegm and I'm ready to hurl.

I can kill and butcher an animal with no problem. But give me fish-head soup with the eyeballs staring up at me and watch me turn gray.

Weird.

What about the fish in the amazon that swim up the penis and latch on *shudder*

You're a paradox alright! Congrats! :D

Strangely, one of the few things that makes me feel ill (in terms of ickyness) is the idea of being transformed/losing my identity.

*waits for pointing and laughter to subside*

No really. Things like going insane, becoming a zombie/pod-person/whatever. I think about it for some time afterwards (once when I was younger, I needed sedatives because I couldn't sleep out of pure fear due to a game, for christ sake), become a bit obsessive compulsive about checking for 'signs' and feel quite ill for some time due to lack of sleep.

*waits through second wave of jeering*

The only other thing that makes me feel ill is parasites. And not all, just the ones that make themselves visible through the skin (that nematode worm that comes out through the skin, that fly that lays eggs under your skin and the maggots eat their way out, etc.).

*watches intermittent retching*

Oy, that scene in Kill Bill 1 where *SPOILER* Lucy's scalp is chopped off made me feel a little woozy...It was the parts with the eyes that got me squirming the first time I saw it. I must have been repressing the memories, but now I remember not enjoying seeing charred corpses being hacked away on :(
The idea of internal bleeding has always made me feel queasy.

For me it's the sound of someone eating. But only if it's the sound alone. Watching and hearing someone else eat, even if I'm not eating anything, has no affect on me. But if there's no visual, and just the sound, I can't deal with it.

There was a radio commercial that used to come on last year that started out with the sound of someone biting into and chewing a very crisp sounding apple. I could never listen to the whole commercial to even find out what they were advertising, I had to shut the radio off or change channels. If someone's talking to me on the phone while they're eating (something one of my best friends always does!! grrr) I have to ask them to either stop eating or call me back when they've consumed their fill.

That's if you pee in the water. They're attracted to one of the chemicals that's in urine, and seek its source. But yeah..also not too grand.

The most popular theory is that candiru are attracted to the urea/ammonia in your urine. The reason for this theory is because the candiru is parasitical of large catfish in the Amazon, as it swims into the opercular valve to the gills (rich source of blood) and jabs spines to break the gills, when it ingests the blood. The urea/ammonia attraction comes about because fish excrete ammonia through the gills, and urea is a biological derivative of ammonia.

I am not a fan of seeing animals eat each other, particularly in real life. It does not matter if the prey is dead or alive, although for some reason I mind live eating less. If it is on 'Be The Creature' I am fine with it, but watching a bird rip out some poor porcupine's intestines just for being run over on the road, that's gross. Maybe it is the scent factor... There are a few smells that make me want to vomit.

I am not sure I would call them icky, but roller coasters give me nausea, too.

Oh, and Kohlensaure, especially when one is expecting regular water.

Uhm...I'm not sure.

Then you wouldn't wanna know the story of my life! :p

Then you wouldn't wanna know the story of my life! :pTo be honest, eating cheese or tomatoes would be worse... :D

I'd have to say fly larvae. Disgusting really.

Wet bread has before and will again send me running from a room. That is the most disgusting substance known to man. Uggghhhh.

I once worked in a hospital, so I got pretty inured to "icky" things, but it never fails to sicken me when I hear of someone torturing defenseless animals. No, I'm not a member of PETA. I eat meat. But the senseless torture of any creature for pleasure, revenge, or experimentation never fails to sicken me.

Film taken from inside a humans body (eg the womb, stomache) make me feel ill, though strangley brain surgeory doesn't.

lol, I forgot the reason why that was. Thanks.

No laughing here. I agree, that sort of thing disturbs me, which is why I went to sleep with the light on after seeing "The Empty Child"!

Decompression also horrifies me. Euch, all your veins swelling up and your insides bursting, the blood boiling inside you and the inner twisting as your body is pushed apart inside… :eek:

I'd be afraid of anything that latches onto my penis with no intention of giving me pleasure.

So...What might make you puke? No poll since everyone has different "issues".

1. gun-grabbers
2. neo-cons
3. political corruption/plain corruption
4. religious right

What's "icky" to me?

How about some old dude coming all over me on NS?

Heh.

Hey, it's "sticky" as well as "icky". Ewww.

Two words....scat porn.

Actually, vacuum exposure isn't as bad as Hollywood makes it out to be. Your blood doesn't boil, you don't explode, and you don't instantly freeze to death. Here's a NASA article that might make you feel at least a bit better. :)

As for me... well, I find drains icky. Like, the drain in your sink or bathtub. I wouldn't stick my finger in there for any money. No sirree. *shudder*

Is it a bad sign that I'm finding a lot of what other people find 'icky' to have the uh... opposite effect on me? :eek:

Rotten fruit. Like if you bite into an apple and it's all brown and disgusting inside. The taste of bruised and rotten apple is the most vomit inducing I've ever had the displeasure to experience :gundge:

Infact rotten food in general is pretty repugnant/vulgar/vile/icky.
