Holders of this will get a special reward in 2022. Common disgust triggers: Expelled bodily products such as feces, vomit, urine, mucus and blood Certain foods (often from cultures other than our own) Something rotting, diseased or dying Injuries, surgeries and/or being exposed to bodily insides A person, animal or thing one considers physically ugly Perceived perversions or actions of other people (such as certain sexual inclinations, torture or servitude) Development of disgust Children and adolescents often have a fascination with disgust as do some adults (including finding disgusting things humorous and/or intriguing). For young children, however, disgust doesn’t begin to develop until sometime between the ages of four and eight. Before that emotional development, children experience distaste, the rejection of things that taste bad, but not disgust. Additional studies have shown that kids aren’t bothered by some of the things that adults find disgusting (e.g., eating a bar of chocolate shaped like dog feces). One theory is that when we are younger, we do not yet have the cognitive capacity necessary for certain forms of learned disgust.
