This is a complex question for me. Right now, I'd rather someone I love catch a stomach virus than me. Everyone around me views V as a discomfort or a inconvenience than a terrifying thing. My husband isn't afraid of it at all, so I'd much rather him get it than me. It wouldn't even phase him at all. But if either my sons had emetophobia, I would take it for him in a heartbeat. I'd rather any non-emetophobe catch a virus than any emetophobe.
