What triggered your fear?

[Amesuki]

Does anybody else remember v* when they were a child, younger than maybe 8? I remember v* then and never taking a care in the as to why and how it happened. Then one time, when I was 9, I had tonsillitis. i ruined our annual overseas holiday from v*. THAT is when my fear started, and the triger was .... TASTE! That's right. My masive fear today is not from the act of v*, but the taste. A lot of other emetophobes have told me that that is a stupid thing to fear about v*. They're liek, 'What about not being able to breath, choking etc.' I'm like, NUP. If it tasted liek what I last ate, then I will be happy to v*. unfortunately, that will never happen. So I am in fear of everything since. I hope this was a helpful insight into one of the many reasons why/how the fear started.

I am exactly the same. Taste! Can't stand it, it makes me fear it so much!

I don't know when I got my phobia but I guess it was the first time I truly was ill with a bug around 6. I just remember the taste and the sight. Still to this day, I will not eat chocolate orange or cream of chicken soup.

Also, my grandmother, she has extreme emetophobia too, she can't talk about even having the phobia as it includes the ideals of v*. Makes me wonder if it's inherited or genetic to some degree.
