[jsxoqyzx] Revulsion to unfamiliar

What causes intense revulsion, as opposed to mere annoyance or apathy, when encountering something unfamiliar?  Distinctive, obvious human behaviors are easier to study; I'm surprised we don't have an answer to this already.

Knowledge of this can be used for good or for evil in programming people.

Some people have this about sex, which is evolutionarily surprising.
