I know I’ve posted this before, but, dear Jesus, the crawfish grosses me the hell out. It’s something about the slimey brownness combined with those grotesque little flappy fin things…argh. ---

Maggots. I once had to remove a dead bird from our terrace and it was full of them. [insert barfing smilie here] ---

I’ve done some first aid and even pulling lots of pieces of glass out of an old woman’s stinky scaly foot didn’t bother me. > > However: Used bandaids! Ewwwwww. In a pool…in the drain of the shower in the locker room…I want to throw up just writing this. I don’t know why. \*\* This reminds me of another incident. There used to be a fairly revolting deli in this building that I worked in. One day, a friend of mine ordered a tuna fish sandwich and brought it back up to the office to eat it. Upon commencing said eating, she (thankfully) discovered a used, bloody band-aid in the tuna fish (she had taken the top of the sandwich off to readjust the tuna). Of course, she marched downstairs, showed them the sandwich and asked for her money back. Being the top-quality establishment that they were, they refused to refund her money, saying that she could’ve planted the band-aid herself. 😕 This was before people sued over this type of thing. ---

Anything related to dentistry, especially root canal surgery. They showed us a video during a lecture on dentistry. I could hardly watch. I don’t mind watching or assisting any kind of surgery. I don’t care about eye-injuries. But dentistry - extracting a tooth, drilling,… - grosses me out. ---

You know how some people (usually the ones who are into body modification) will stick hooks through their flesh and get suspended from the hooks? (there’s a bunch of it on [bmezine.com](http://bmezine.com)) I cannot even begin to describe how awful this is. ---
