Weird Associations

Most people I know seem to have some weird association left over from their formative years. The sort of thing where they once got sick after eating a banana, so they can't stand bananas. I've got a few of my own, but I realized today that my cancer treatment is going to leave me with two more: 

Rubbing alcohol -- I cannot tell you how completely and totally I now detest the smell of rubbing alcohol. Never again will I have a bottle of the stuff in my bathroom cabinet, and if I need to use alcohol as a solvent I'll just use gin or vodka or whiskey -- anything besides rubbing alcohol. Horrible, repulsive stuff.

Saline solution -- Before cancer, I would've said saline solution didn't smell any different from water. I would've been wrong. When they're sending the stuff into your heart and from there past your lungs and straight to your head, it definitely has a smell -- and occasionally a taste. And like rubbing alcohol, it's repulsive.
