I don't consider myself "overly squeamish," I'm pretty "tough skinned" and can handle a lot of gross/disgusting things. Growing up on a farm, I think I had to be able to handle a lot. I probably saw, as well as helped do things that would make most girls throw up, things like helping slaughter the cattle and pigs (as well as gutting them), kill the chickens...all so we would have food to eat in the winter. I mucked out the pig sty on more than one occasion and sewed up the neck of a Ewe (mama sheep) after she ripped it trying to go through a barbed wire fence...you know, just all that "farm stuff". But surprisingly enough, there are a few things that really make me want to "hurl!".
3 things that repulse me
Repulse #1- Smells!
Certain smells can make me gag in a heartbeat! The smell of dog/cat poop. The smell of rotting potatoes. The smell of a dead mouse. The smell of rotten food from the refrigerator (canned kidney beans are the worst!) The smell of throw up. The smell of bacon on my clothes. The smell of someone who needs a bath. The smell of someone who doesn't use deodorant. The smell of campfire in my hair...Yep, those things repulse me and make me want to throw up. ALTHOUGH, I have learned to breath through my mouth on more than one occasion when smells are getting to me and can't be avoided...keeping me from losing my lunch so to speak.
Repulse #2- Buger eaters!
Yes, I know, most kids do it....and most kids outgrow it. BUT sometimes you see one that is enjoying his/her "pickings" WAY too much. It's not the toddlers and very small children that get me, but those older ones...like those kids in elementary school that have a runny nose and reach up with their tongue to clean it off their face (see, you are being repulsed by it too)...yep, that makes me want to up-chuck. Or the child that reaches in their nose and digs and digs, finally pulling out a big ol' long one and proceeds to look at it, staring at it as though they haven't eaten in weeks, then slurps it down like it's a spaghetti noodle...YEP, that will get to me every time. More often than not, I just have to look away or I will throw up!
Repulse #3- LICE!!!
It's a mother's worst nightmare when she gets a call from the school nurse saying, "You need to come and pick up your child from school, they have LICE!!!!" Been there, done that!!!! I thought I wanted to die. Those nasty little critters crawling around in my home, my beds, inside my cars and IN my CHILDS HAIR!!! It literally makes my stomach queasy just thinking about it. Lice is not a respecter of persons...it doesn't really matter how clean your children are, how often you wash their bedding or how clean your house is, anyone can get it. I learned that the hard way. I remember using RID (the lice treatment shampoo) and the little comb that you have to use to comb all the little NITS from the child's hair. It was AWFUL to say the least, and it completely grossed me out. I wouldn't wish that nasty little creature on anyone...I guess you could say, LICE repulses me!!!!

OH the fun things you get to learn about me...
guess you didn't know me as good as you thought you did.
