Emetophobia
or sick - being it, seeing it, hearing it - it seems amusing but it doesn't half mess you up! I spent years not going to the pub on a Friday or SAturday night in case I saw someone yakking on the way home - even films where it's blatantly not real I can't deal with at all!
I used to have to work early on a Sunday morning, and the walk to work while trying to avoid looking at pavement pizza was traumatic to say the least!
It affects everything though - worry about flying in case I get airsick, worry about getting drunk in case I'm sick, don't like drunks or small children in case they're sick...

I hate wasps, they just give me the shivers - nasty, vindictive stingy little bastards! They do it because they can!

My latest new phobia is ladybirds. Not nice red native English ladybirds, no, I mean those nasty fat orange violent murderous immigrant scum ladybirds - the harlequin ones. Had a bloody invasion of them over the summer and they're nasty! They bite! Now when I see one it gives me a proper case of the squirms and as such my flat regularly smells of Raid and ladybird earwax (why DO ladybirds smell so bad? )

My all time innocent little thing that makes me retch though is watching small kids eating. They get food everywhere - around their chops I can just about cope with but it's when it's on their teeth, and swirling around their mouths and they eat with their mouths open and...and..*heave*

Urgh. If anyone remembers that godawful advert where the little darlings are stuffing cream cake and the others are eating oranges - that advert had me in such fear I watched only BBC for weeks so I could avoid it!
