[ExI] book on parasites

[Tara Maya]

The process may be unconscious, but believe me, the pregnant woman is conscious of feeling grossed out by many foods and smells! And in my experience, she may also be a little too vocal in letting her spouse know exactly how she feels.

Thanks for the recommend, I love those books too.

The hormone also does this:  it increases the woman's disgust level, making her emotional in excess of normal, so that she is more careful about germs than she was before she was pregnant.  All unconscious.
