—Top-View7248
3."Snails. Slimy bastards, they are."

—GoodFriday10

—AAEgurl26

—Financial-Job4779
13."Tripe. It's like eating bits of slimy towel."
—Difficult_Carob7063
14."Lima beans have this weird, chalky, powdery texture that makes me skin crawl. Even thinking about biting into one makes me shudder. As a kid, my mom would try sneaking them into soups and casseroles, but I'd always spot them and pick them out. The texture is like eating wet sand, and I just can't deal with it."
—PerfectCutie_
15."Durian."
—davidicon168
"I recently tried durian for the first time. Really couldn't get past the smell. The flavor and texture were not helpful, either. Zero stars."
—12Wanderful
16."Pears. They're always gritty and sandy."
—spidergirl79
17.Lastly: "Eggs. They disgust me, and they've disgusted me since I was a kid. I'm in my 30s now, and I haven't eaten eggs for as long as I can remember. People find it weird, but eggs smell like farts, and they're slimy and gelatinous. I find them completely repulsive. I don't care about eating stuff where eggs are used as an ingredient like pasta or baked goods, but eating eggs alone is, in my mind, roughly equivalent to eating a turd. My fiancée used to love them, but she's vegan now, and our household is one of the very few that hasn't been worried about egg prices this year (which is nice, at least)."
—WrestleSocietyXShill
For me, the food that I can't eat due to the texture is OATMEAL! I hate how goopy and bland it is, and not even adding toppings helps. What's a food you refuse to eat because of the texture or smell? Let us know in the comments, or you can anonymously submit your thoughts using the form below!

After delay, Kalvista wins FDA OK for drug to treat rare swelling disorder
This story was originally published on BioPharma Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily BioPharma Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: After a delay due to 'resource constraints,' the Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved Kalvista Pharmaceuticals' pill Ekterly to treat swelling attacks in people with the rare disorder hereditary angioedema. Ekterly is the first oral drug to treat hereditary angioedema, or HAE, attacks, competing with shots like Firazyr from Takeda and Ruconest from Pharming. Analysts have estimated Ekterly, Kalvista's first marketed drug, could bring in $600 million a year in U.S. sales at its peak. The FDA delayed the decision beyond its June 17 deadline, Kalvista said, because of a 'heavy workload and limited resources.' While Kalvista awaited its decision, the FDA granted approval to another HAE drug, CSL's Andembry, a preventive shot that won't compete directly with Ekterly. Dive Insight: Kalvista set a price of $16,720 per dose, which consists of two 600 milligram tablets of Ekterly, known scientifically as sebetralstat. A company spokesperson stated Kalvista 'priced Ekterly competitively with existing therapies, reflecting the innovation it brings to the HAE community,' noting that it's the first new drug in more than a decade. Under the FDA's approval, people experiencing a HAE attack can take a second dose within three hours if they don't get symptom relief, while people taking Firazyr must wait six, a protocol that could give Ekterly a competitive advantage, Stifel analyst Paul Matteis wrote in a note to clients. Moreover, people using Firazyr and Ruconest must receive training before they can self-inject. The drug won approval based on a trial of 110 people, which found that people who took Ekterly after an attack achieved symptom relief in a median of two hours following a dose within a 12-hour window in which the drug's effectiveness was measured. Fewer than 50% of people who took a placebo in the trial experienced symptom relief within 12 hours. More HAE attacks were resolved in people who took Ekterly within 24 hours, at about 50% compared to 27% in those who took placebo. Kalvista shares rose 24% in early trading, recovering all of the losses following the FDA's delay. Matteis took an optimistic view of the drug, writing that Ekterly's 'injectable-like efficacy has the potential to take a meaningful share, and potentially grow, the on-demand HAE market, which has remained relatively stable.'

Family of boy who died from brain-eating amoeba speaks out: 'Unimaginable'
The family of a 12-year-old boy from South Carolina is grieving after he died from a brain-eating amoeba, according to a statement from their lawyer. Jaysen Carr died on July 18 after developing an infection from the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri, the statement shared by Bailey Law Firm said. The South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY on July 23 that a person died after being exposed to the amoeba earlier in July. Prisma Health Children's Hospital Midlands confirmed on July 22 that the person was treated at the facility but did not publicly identify the person. "The Carr family is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love from the community and for the dedicated care provided by the doctors and nurses at Prisma Health Children's Hospital in the Midlands," the statement said. Brain-eating amoeba victim was 'bright and beloved' middle schooler The statement from the Carr family's lawyer said Jaysen was a "bright and beloved" middle school student. "His loss is unimaginable, and our hearts are with his family as they grieve their son and search for answers," the statement said. The legal team said it will "stand beside this family not only to seek the truth, but to help ensure no other family endures a loss like this." "We ask that you keep the Carrs in your thoughts and prayers and respect their privacy as they prepare to lay Jaysen to rest," Bailey Law Firm's statement said. Brain-eating amoeba: Person dies from Naegleria fowleri in South Carolina, officials say Family says boy was infected with brain-eating amoeba at SC lake The family's statement also said Jaysen Carr developed the infection after swimming at Lake Murray outside Columbia. The SCDPH said it also believed the exposure occurred at the lake. "We cannot be completely certain as this organism occurs naturally and is present in many warm water lakes, rivers and streams," the agency said. What is Naegleria fowleri? Why is it known as a brain-eating amoeba? Naegleria fowleri is a type of amoeba that can cause a rare but nearly always fatal brain infection. It thrives in warm freshwater lakes, rivers and hot springs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The amoeba is often referred to as brain-eating because it can cause an infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) that destroys brain tissue. Most people who have been in bodies of waters have been exposed to the amoeba, but contact alone is not harmful, Dr. Anna Kathryn Burch, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Prisma Health Children's Hospital Midlands, said during a news conference on July 22. "Where it can cause an issue is if forceful water gets up the nose and is able to cross from the nose into the brain," Burch said, adding that a PAM infection causes the brain to swell. To protect against a possible infection, the CDC recommends holding or wearing a nose clip when jumping into fresh water, keeping the head above water in hot springs and using distilled or boiled tap water when rinsing sinuses.
