Not the commenter, but for me this is it. I'm don't mind any other insect or rodent. But for some reason roaches are absolutely disgusting.

I know how silly it sounds but I would hesitate to work on any project that worked with this tech just because it would make me uncomfortable to hear the word so often.

Yeah. My brain just starts thinking about mold and rot and disease and I can't divert it.

It's weird, because I can watch nature documentaries of lions eating prey without flinching.

Have you considered the possibility that you might be strange?
