At the very beginning you can see Thomas on four but it looks like a shadow but you can hear it and I found that pretty triggering. But I haven’t watched any further in the books there is a small bit at different points but idk if it’s in the movies cause I’m too wuss to watch further

A character spits out alcohol. In the very first shot a character spits/vomits water. When a character attacks another, saliva drips out of his mouth. Later he spits out something possibly blood before being driven into the maze.

when alby is acting aggressively with thomas after being stung, teresa injects him with the serum but you can’t see any needles

after the grievers enter the glade, thomas stabs himself with a stinger but again i don’t think you see the needle.

when the grievers try to sting people in general it is basically with a needle/syringe looking thing
