Not very. I look away from road kill, if I can, but otherwise I am not a spooky, squeamish female. I can pick up bugs, rodents, and various poo without an issue, not afraid of bugs, animals, etc. The only thing that really grosses me out is vomit. Specifically human vomit, can do animal barf much better than human barf. Not afraid of heights, flying, doctors, dentists, all in all I am fairly non-neurotic. :-D
