Disgust
Disgust
is an
emotional
response of revulsion to something considered offensive, distasteful, or unpleasant. In
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals
,
Charles Darwin
wrote that disgust is a sensation that refers to something revolting. Disgust is experienced primarily in relation to the
sense
of
taste
(either perceived or imagined), and secondarily to anything which causes a similar feeling by sense of
smell
,
touch
, or
vision
. Musically sensitive people may even be disgusted by the
cacophony
of inharmonious sounds. Research continually has proven a relationship between disgust and
anxiety disorders
such as
arachnophobia
,
blood-injection-injury type phobias
, and contamination fear related
obsessive–compulsive disorder
(also known as OCD).
