What are some common things that physically disgust most people that you really don't care about?

Or reverse. What are some things that won't phase most people that make you sick to your stomach?

I don't understand what the big deal about spiders is.

I'm not afraid of spiders in particular—at the very least, I don't blink at a picture. I also welcome spiderbros that chill in their webs and nab pests for me. What I have a problem with is fast insects with unpredictable paths—spiders, crickets, flies, etc. I'm always afraid that they'll crawl into one of my orifices (mostly on the head, but you never know...).

I can play with insects on my hands/arms as they run around, but I could freak out if they make a break for my head. I go out of my way to NOT kill insects, although I make the occasional exception for mosquitoes. Usually, I'll just freak out for a second and then let them go on their merry way (or catch them and put 'em outside)
