Generally, CTA arises when food consumption is followed by symptoms of sickness like nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. However, a taste aversion can also arise from an illness unrelated to the food you ate. One example of a conditioned taste aversion is getting nausea or vomiting after drinking milk and then avoiding it after the incident.
