Hello.
I've been emetophobic for about 3 years. It started a while ago, actually, but I'm still unsure why it happened.
But anyways, yesterday I went and picked up my friend from his house. When I got there his brother was on the couch, and I asked if he was alright. They told me that he had v* 3 times that day. I was absolutely terrified, I hadn't seen him get sick at that moment but I left the room without a thought and felt on the virge of tears, as I left I was crying. The whole day I was panicking and when i went to sleep I took Dramamine, thinking it'd keep me from getting sick. It did, helpfully, and today I am still not sick by what I was near, but right now I feel very nauseous and nervous, (even though i feel nauseous all day I'm just really worried now)

What I'm really wondering is that, How long does it take you to get sick from somebody?

Also, can you get sick just by briefly being near somebody?
