Get out the barf bags.

The National Broacasting Company reality program 'Fear Factor' [airing Monday nights at 8PM EST in the family hour] is promising an 'all grossout' episode to kick off the February sweeps rating period. [when television ads rates are set for the season]

Contestants will bob for objects dunked in 50 gallons of cow blood.

They will also eat five inch long worms and pick up dead skunks from inside a pitch black tunnel.

The episode airs February 3.
