Everyone talks a lot about being afraid that they are going to vomit, or that someone else is going to. I am terrified of that too, but I am also very afraid of the actual vomit its self. I recognize that it is not going to hurt me, that walking by it wont make me sick, but that isn't what I am afraid of. It is there and it will ruin everything, and it will make things unusable. It doesn't matter if they were drunk, or even if the shoved a finger down their throat, IT is there, irrevocably "contaminating" the area (not in a strictly infection-related way). I can't explain it any better than that.

I'd rather be sick in public, or at a stranger's house than at my own house, which I know is the opposite of how other people feel . If it is at someone else's house, or in public, then IT is not in my house. I can leave it there and it will not ruin my house.

Does anyone else fear the actual substance and not just the act of vomiting?
