: A little too strong of a feeling, in this instance, IMO. Too much like "upsetting", which I don't feel is actually the case here.

: https://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=qu... I didn't know what 'queasy' means in English but I'm not aware that 'impresión' means 'queasy'. 'Anxious'. 'It makes them feel anxious' would be good from your reference, Liz, good research
