What would make you queasy if you were to read about it in a book?

Question

Very graphic violent scenes, parasitic infection, etc.?

Answer 1

Spiders crawling inside of people and then exploding into more spiders which do the same until they exponentially become spider ridden.

Answer 2

the opening scene of carrie made me close the book. that was absolutely horrifying.

things that people should not write about, like menstrual-humiliation, make me want to hurl. bitching book, but horrific scene...

Answer 3

I can read almost anything, but a book that deals with pedophilia or the murder of a child or animal is too much for me. Adults getting murdered- now that's something I could enjoy! (kidding)

Answer 4

Mark Haddon's book, Spot of Bother...one of the characters starts to go a little crazy and believes that a small lesion he has on his hip in cancerous - so he tries to cut it off.  It's very descriptive and had me gagging.

Answer 5

I don't think it would make me queasy, but of course you never know how you'll react to something until after it happens.  But judging from my past experiences, I think I'd be more than okay.

Answer 6

People who throw up from books

need harder lives, in my opinion.

Answer 7

Hardly. I have an iron stomach - I could eat on a battlefield. As a nurse I've seen plenty of internal organs and disgusting wounds.
