Omg.....I thought I was the only freak with a puke phobia. I'm 51 and have puked exactly twice.....that's right ....twice in my life. If I hear someone puke it freaks me out and if I see them puke I go into full panic attack.
I never puke and I can count on one hand how many times i have. If i think someone is about to

Okay, this may be unusual (or maybe not) but Who else would rather take a snake rather than a spider?! I HATE SPIDERS!
I like snakes and spiders around! I do loathe roaches and especially hate mosquitoes. I will encourage spiders and and any other mosquito eating creatures. Mosquitoes are sent from hell and i invite them to go back.
 
@staceyj HAppy BIRTHDAY!! :love

Thanks! They will be 22 weeks old in a couple days. Can’t wait for my very first blue egg!

Wow, they are pretty! Love your cockerel. :clap
Mine started laying last Wednesday at 21-1/2 weeks. A few days later I got two eggs in the same day. Today I got 3!!
With a couple of my BCM eggs over the weekend:

Spiders, if found outside they live. If in the house and they move away from me I'm ok. It's when they crawl towards me menacingly I have a problem. Found to beautiful ones outside working on the coop.
I've put a snake in my pocket to warm it before letting it go....
Centipedes and silverfish gross me out.
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:
So totally gross-- yet funny-- story.
My best girlfriend heavily pregnant, with twins, in June is past ready to give birth so I tell her go for a bumpy ride. There is this old metropark service road that could eat your car for the potholes so that's the one I suggest.
She calls me and it worked! She in labor and headed to the hospital. I go up to find her doing pretty good and getting ready to deliver. With twins they gave her an epidural and prep an operating room just in case.
Her husband is fielding people at the door so pregnant friend, nurse and I are in the room. She suddenly says shes going to throw up and the nurse was there in a blink with one of those useless kidney pans.
Poor friend is throwing up with every contraction and apologizing every time she can catch her breath.
Finally there's nothing left in her system and she says she's glad hubby missed that. He's weird about vomit.
I shrugged and chuckled a bit "And here I was wondering what you ate."
A BigMac. Even the nurse chimed in on that..."you said you had a burger. Not a BigMac. No wonder you threw it up." And we all start laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While someone is throwing up I can get past it out of concern. Clean human puke off of something and it's a no go for me. Cat-dog-baby, I'm ok.
I don't do snot. Anything snotty-goobery- loogie consistency and I'm retching.
