    Cold. With a cold I don't v. to me its better to be coughing and sneezing than to throw up. I do NOT like colds but its better than fp or sv for sure!

    Cold most definitely. Back when I was a kid, I had a flu for half a month so I even have some experience! I rather carry some tissues with me than getting sick.

    OMG! I HATE colds. This was extremely easy to answer, though.

    I had a flu for about 2 whole weeks when I was 11. It was a horrible flu, I couldn't move and my fever was 104.7. And I would still take that over vomiting. Ugh I hate this irrational fear :/

    Last October I had a terrible cold that eventually developed into walking pneumonia. I felt miserable but even so, I'd have to go with the cold! Pathetic but true!

    I wanted to add something else on here. I mentioned this poll to my wife, who is a non-emet. She said, "That's an easy choice! I'd take 5 min of v over a month of a cold anyday." I really wish I had that same mindset!

    I wish I had that mindset too!! It amazes me!

    Now I might surprise everyone everyone and say I'd rather throw up once if I knew when it was going to happen and I could be I. A safe place and I knew it was only going to be once I'd just do that rather than suffer for a month with a cold. I'm probably one of the worst for being really anxious but times like this I surprise myself with the answer x x x

    As of this very second, I'd rather vomit once. I'm honestly fed up with the "evil mystery" aspect of it!

    But, ask me this at other times when I'm not feeling so brave and the answer might be different... Haha.

    Well, I didn't have a bad cold for a long time and of course I choose a cold for a month! Everything but vomiting!

    For me, I guess it depends the severity of the cold. If it's a flu like how Chai explained, I'd much rather V than be sick like that. But if it's a common cold, I'd rather have that than V.
