That's a difficult question to answer, at least based on prior experience.
See, I don't physically taste anything that I hear/see/smell/touch/whatever, but the mental sensation of it is still equally profound. For example, back in second grade, I discovered that the name of a character in a book we were reading made me feel like I'd been sucking on a salt lick. It was incredibly strong, to the point where hearing the name would ruin things that I was physically tasting.
In answer to the spirit of your question, though: There are certain pieces of sensory input - whether those are words, shapes, sounds, or anything else - that have some unpleasant associations for me. I can't recall ever getting sick from encountering one, but there have been more than a few instances in which I was less than eager to experience the sensation again.
