What exactly happens in your brain whenever you feel squeamish?

I’ve known people that easily faint at the slightest sight of blood, they don’t necessarily have to be the one bleeding, just seeing a little bit from someone else causes them to faint. How can something that small causes your whole body to shut down?

It’s an evolutionary remnant. Something gross could potentially kill you back in the day. So throwing up, being scared or feeling uncomfortable is a way to protect yourself and get away from the threat.
