    Emetophobia - Does anyone find someone else being sick,worse than yourself being ill?

    I am emetophobic, but I worry more about people around me being sick more than myself being sick!! Does anyone else feel the same???
    However if I do even slightly feel sick I chew minty gum, I constantly have a supply of gum!

    Please reply to this if you feel the same.

    I am the same. I used to fear being sick myself, but have a hernia im my stomach which makes me sick regulary so I have had to over come this, but even the thought of someone being sick makes me wretch!

    Yes. I'm much worse when my daughter or husband are sick.

    I think it is perfectly normal to find the sight of someone being sick unpleasant.

    Personally, if I see or even just hear someone being sick, it instantly makes me want to be sick.
