Avoiding places where you’ve been ill

Well places and things associated with being ill. If I’ve ever been somewhere where I’ve had a bad cold or bug, I then associate it with being ill and don’t really want to go back there, even though rationally I know it has nothing to do with me getting ill. Same with distinctive things I’ve eaten around the time of getting ill, even though they’re impossible/unlikely to have been the cause. Does anyone else get this? Isn’t the brain weird?Grin

On my avoid list are

A certain hotel in Scotland, where I arrived for a wedding but then came down with the flu and couldn’t go. I had a room service BLT there and therefore cant eat BLTs ever again because they remind me of the flu shivers

Crunchie bars - ate one as I was coming down with bad chest infection, now ruined forever

Peanut brittle - had some and later that day had d&v. Obviously not related but for me now peanut +sweet things = vom

Also a holiday destination in south of France where I had morning sickness. I don’t want to say the whole of the south of France is forever tainted with the sensation of vomiting, but it kind of is...Grin

Contracted Campylobacter in a restaurant in a small Mexican town we used to visit often. No more. I am afraid to eat there.
