(And, for the record, I don&amp;#x27;t think a covered wound is gross at all, Erin!) What about you? What kinds of things make you a little squeamish? Ever felt a little uncomfortable about someone&amp;#x27;s open, oozing wound? Or has anyone ever made you feel bad about a health condition you were dealing with?
