Yellow, Sweetcorn, being sick and Gin
Right, this will be the first of several ramblings by me on the subject of my phobias.

Without going into it too much, I'm a bit special in the head, a few bits and bobs wrong with me. I'm ok at the moment, but it's normally a matter of time before I get something pop up and mess me around.

So...

Yellow things, for no particular reason, bring me out in a cold sweat.
Certain shades are worse than others, and generally speaking, the more yellow there is, the worse I feel.

I remember going for an interview for a University, and not getting it, because I must have looked like some crack-head by the time I went in, I was sweating and shaking so much.
That was due to sitting in a waiting room that was painted the wrong yellow.
It also gives me a terrible headache.
I can eat cheese, butter, bananas, and drink orange juice and fanta.
I can't eat sweetcorn. Or drink gin.

This ties into my terrible fear of being sick. The thought of being sick makes me feel like I'm going to throw up, usefully...
As other people here have described, being sick fills me with a deep terror, and turns me ice-cold.

I'm allergic to eating fish, it makes me throw up, impressively and more or less instantly. I found this out after eating a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich.
So sweetcorn has a close link to vomiting, and it's the wrong yellow.
Thus sweetcorn is a bad, bad thing.

Now gin... That's down to me being silly, and drinking too much of it once, getting The Fear, throwing up, tasting the gin again, linking it to being sick, forever more in the world of Kaol.

Well done if you got to the end of that semi-cathartic rambling.
