                                It is estimated that up to 10% of adults and children face some degree of food hypersensitivity. While eggs are a nutritional staple for many, for others, the sight, smell, or texture can trigger a strong feeling of disgust, known as "egg ick." This aversion can stem from a variety of sensory, psychological, and physiological factors.
