Scientists uncover the real reason why loud eaters and mouth breathers gross us out

Makes me wonder if the brain connection they saw is more related to culture…like, I was scolded meanly as a child for chewing too loudly or sniffling or any of that stuff. I’m definitely on the proposed “misophonia spectrum,” but wonder if I would be if there wasn’t that history.
I’d like to think I’m more nuanced than one of Pavlov’s dogs, but maybe not. :woman_shrugging:t2:
