What makes your stomach turn!?

This is a weird post...but I want to know if this really makes anyone else's stomach turn...

I have the hardest time brushing a patients teeth/ helping the brush their teeth/ or emptying their mouth basin. The site of little food particles floating in the water makes me gag :eek:. I thought I would get over it by now, but I havn't. I would rather have someone throw up on me or I'd rather change a diaper or bed pan annnnnnny day it doesnt bother me one bit....

I was wondering what, if anything, turns your stomachs

changing colostomy bag and giving suppositories. but you gotta do what you gotta do.

just make sure not to gag in front of the patients so you don't embarrass them.
