things that are sick

So I was thinking about all the things that sicken me. Here is a list that I have come up with in no particular order: 


loose teeth

mangled bones

people's skin/hair flakes they leave on hospital beds when the sheets are removed for cleaning

Lovely child of mine swishing yogurt 

sweaty money

sweaty socks



I would say that the flaky skin in the worst. I was cleaning a bed the other night at the hospital and as I removed the sheets there were flakes all over the mattress. We use super duty wipes that burn your nose when smelling the aroma they leave, so don't worry if you ever need to go to the hospital. The beds are fine, but still. I am disgusted every time.  It happens more so with older generation people and perhaps they don't lotion their skin enough, Idk. 
Same with sweaty socks. These are socks from other people. With my own kid, it's not too bad. I don't ever have to deal with Kole's socks.  He's pretty good about not leaving them around.  Again in the hospital, picking up people's sweaty socks in their sheets or on the floor or taking them off to assess their pulse- sick. I see a lot of sick things, but it's the little ones that seem to sicken me the most. 

I know there are other things that sicken me, but they don't come to mind right now.  What sickens you?

All those things are gross!

Mold on food in the fridge,
watching people pick their nose and eat it,
lint,
crumbs in the couch cushion,
the smell of urine,
dirty animals,
poop in any form,
kids with snot all over their face...and their parents doing nothing about it,
the smell of cigarette smoke....are a few things that sicken me.

A lot actually. Also I find it weird that you work in a hospital and you find these things gross. Does it get in the way of your job? I'm just curious.

Probably how Frenchwomen are so ridiculously thin while eating whatever they want. --.--"

Flaky skin by far at the hospital grosses me out the most. I hate it when you see it floating in the air and I just hold my breath. I don't want to breath that grodiness in ewwwww
