Hi,

I was wondering if anyone on here has rituals and things that they do in order to keep their Emetophobia at bay?

These are examples of mine;

I don't eat chicken and rarely eat pork through fear of picking up food poisoning.

If I cook chicken or pork for my family I will always over cook it.

When preparing raw meat I try and touch the meat as little as possible and then once I'm done I wash my hands several times in two different washing basins. I also scrub all the surfaces with disinfectant even if the raw meat hasn't touched it.

When packing bags in the supermarket I have to keep raw meat seperate from everything else even though it's packaged.

I get really anal about the way food is stored in the fridge.


I won't eat anything past or on the sell by date.


If anyone i know that has had a SV I won't go anywhere near them or their house.


I won't use glasses that have come into contact with someone who has had a SV within the last few months.


When I drink alcohol I only drink enough to make me merry.


I do think it is weird but if I didnt do this I would worry about it all day.
