1. cancer:
Since almost everyone of my family has already died from cancer (or at least got ill), this is something I really really fear. Having a medical background (I worked for an oncologist) doesn't make it any easier for me. I know too much about it.

2. food poisoning:
Food hygiene is also something I know a lot about. This makes it difficult for me to trust the food I'm getting in a restaurant, or from other people. Also, I avoid eating raw or half-boiled eggs.

3. vomiting:
IMO, the most disgusting thing in the world. Even when I see it on tv, I switch the channel or at least look away and cover my ears. I cannot stand the sight, the sound or the smell. When I witness it, I start trembling, and I'm getting tachycard and nauseaous. I don't know why, it has always been like that, even when I was still a little child. I once jumped out of a driving car when my baby sister started vomiting inside. I just HAD to get out of there. And I felt terribly sick after that.

Now tell me, what's your phobia?
