Nope. I've known a few of us. I'm pretty sure I have a world record for not puking--
43 years, lol! There's actually a word for it; it's EMETOPHOBIA. Look:

Emetophobia is a phobia that causes overwhelming, intense anxiety pertaining to vomiting. This specific phobia can also include subcategories of what causes the anxiety, including a fear of vomiting in public, a fear of seeing vomit, a fear of watching the action of vomiting or fear of being nauseated.

People never believe that I have a puke phobia and am a nurse, lol. I've been able to deal with it as a school nurse, because kids puke a LOT--but I still make all kinds of grossed-out faces when I'm handling pukey kids, I'm sure.

My husband knows if he gets sick he's on his own cuz I am NOT going in the bathroom to help him (I am the one laying in bed with my fingers in my ears and eyes closed, singing to myself so I don't hear him, lol!)

Everyone is always like "Oh, puking's not so bad, you feel better when you're done" but I would rather get stabbed in the eye with a red-hot knitting needle than puke. I'm not kidding.

Hence the severe anxiety about the scope possibility!:eek: I feels your pain, Suzi!

ETA: Oddly enough, my fear totally does not apply to animal puke! My dogs puke, I clean it up with no problem. And baby spit-up does not really bother me. Just full out child or adult puke. I'm a freak, I know...:oops:
You must be my soulmate. I can clean up cat puke and dog puke but when DH gets sick I do the fingers in my ears thing too.
 
Oh wow....awkward! I don't mind spiders at all. I think they're kind of beautiful. Iv'e had quite a few tarantulas and even now iv'e got a pumpkin spider named Jimmy outside the bedroom window. Iv'e even got a little spider tattoo about the size of a quarter above my belly button I got as a teenager. More spiders for me I guess.:wee
