sickeners
Things causing nausea
Sickeners are things that disgust or deeply disappoint.
The word appears most often in British English, where a sickener is something that causes revulsion or dismay: It was a real sickener to lose in the final minutes.
In mycology, sickeners are toxic mushrooms of the genus Russula that cause nausea and vomiting when eaten.
