Meat. For me to touch it, it has to already be boned and skinned.

well that didn't work,,,it noticed that if it came for my head,,i would back away
so his last fly around the kitchen,,,he starts for my head and now starts making these gawd awful noises,,,,so i panic'd and swung at him,,,smashed him into the wall and he slid down,,,,deader than a rock

Raw meat.
Cooked pasta-when a piece of it falls on floor.
Also, the sink drain/trap (where it is prone to getting grungy/sludgy).

this is a very good point,,the plumbing under the sink, when the pipes get clogged....
I had to snake the pipe from under the sink towards the septic,,, and yes,,,that was about the grossest thing ive had to do for home maintenance.....clean out a drain pipe that hasn't been snaked for 22 years,,,
i'll spare the details,,,but id love to see you squeamish ladies that cant touch a chicken thigh, snake out the one of these pipes....

I've dropped things in the garbage disposal and had to reach in and pick them out. I only did that once with a bare hand.

Not much really bothers me in the kitchen food wise to touch it.
When one of the cats hack in the middle of the kitchen floor, that's pretty gross.

I'm not particularly fond of handling fish guts, but I do it anyway.

Lol!

I cannot put my hand down a disposal. I can't do it. I know it's turned off... but I can't do it. I used to use an old serving spoon to retrieve things, and now I figured out tongs are much better.

EDIT: But, as has been mentioned, the sink strainer is probably the worst for me. *shudder

Even the dog (a sturdy shepherd) abandoned me and I was left to do battle with the crow on my own. It pooped on my pillow before finally flying out the window.
Don't you have SCREENS on your windows?!?

Um, that's what the dog is for. It's a fair trade off...dog eats all fallen food, and in exchange, I vacuum up all dog hair on floor. Seems fair to me!
