"I have a bad feeling about this" and "I have a gut feeling about this" overlap.
A recent study has shown that the less well balanced the gut in a baby, the more they are afraid. (Yes, they scared babies. Don't worry, it was an age-appropriate experiment involving ugly masks. I wonder what it will do to their tolerance for horror as they get older).
Oh, now, that's an interesting thought. Does our gut determine what kind of horror we like?
It's all very preliminary, but it might indicate that we could use adjusting somebody's gut microbiome to help them deal with, say, a severe phobia.
