Just as [[Nightmare Fuel]] in its many forms breeds nightmares, '''Nausea Fuel''' fills the viewer with [[Squick|the urge to vomit]] and reach for the [[Brain Bleach]]. Broken and mangled limbs, body waste, depraved sex acts of the consensual and non-consensual varieties, and even certain animals such as cockroaches and naked mole rats are good examples seeing how easily they can trigger someone's gag reflex. Keep in mind that while there's a lot of overlap, this trope is ''not'' the same as [[Squick]]: Nausea Fuel is the result of the writer deliberately trying to gross you out, while Squick is unintentional and a lot more dependantsubjective, varying from person to person. Cronenberg-style [[Body Horror]] is a good example of the former, while romantic relationships between consenting adults with a large age gap are of the latter persuasion.
 
Paradoxically ([[Sickeningly Sweet|or maybe not]]), [[Glurge]] can also find itself in this category. Not because it can ''actually'' make you vomit, but overdone sappiness or cheesy, poorly-handled flirting will make you wish you could.
