Emetophobia
Emetophobia is an intense, irrational fear or 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.〔Lipsitz, Joshua D., ''et al''. "Emetophobia: Preliminary Results of an Internet Survey." ''Depression & Anxiety'' (1091–4269) 14.2 (2001): 149-52.〕
Emetophobia is clinically considered an "elusive predicament" because limited research has been done pertaining to it.〔Davidson, Angela L., Christopher Boyle, and Fraser Lauchlan. "Scared to Lose Control? General and Health Locus of Control in Females with a Phobia of Vomiting." ''Journal of Clinical Psychology'' 64.1 (2008): 30-9.〕 The fear of vomiting receives little attention compared with other irrational fears.〔Boschen, M. J. (2007). Reconceptualizing emetophobia: a cognitive-behavioral formulation and research agenda. Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 21, 407-419. doi: 10.1016/j.janxdis.2006.06.007〕 Emetophobia is not limited by age or maturity level. There are cases of emetophobia present in childhood and adolescence, as well as adulthood.〔Frank M. Dattilio. "Emetic Exposure and Desensitization Procedures in the Reduction of Nausea and a Fear of Emesis." ''Clinical Case Studies'' 2.3 (2003): 199-210.〕
==Etymology and definition==
The root word for emetophobia is "emesis," from the Greek word ''emein'' which means "an act or instance of vomiting" with "-phobia” meaning "an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation."
People with emetophobia frequently report a vomit related traumatic event, such as a long bout of stomach flu, accidentally vomiting in public, or having to witness someone else vomit, as the start of the emetophobia.〔Becker, E. S., Rinck, M., Türke, V., Kause, P., Goodwin, R., Neumer, S., & Margraf, J. (2007). Epidemiology of specific phobia subtypes: Findings from the Dresden Mental Health Study. European Psychiatry, 22, 69-74.〕 They may also be afraid of hearing that someone is feeling like vomiting or that someone has vomited, usually in conjunction with the fears of seeing someone vomit or seeing vomit.
