I have a very bad fear of others vomiting, not myself vomiting (which I know is more the case in emetophobia). I have a flight coming up soon. I’m worried if a small child is sitting behind me that they could be sick and it could get through to my seat in the window seat, or if a drunk person etc. I can’t relax. Does anyone else get worried like this before a flight? I’m trying to tell myself if a child
or adult gets sick it’s not a common occurance that it will get on me. That’s my big fear that I’m stuck with it on a plane and it actually gets on me. Please be kind I’m bad enough with the worry!
AIBU?
To fear vomit on flight to the point I’m watching who is sitting where?

I don't think I’ve ever seen anybody vomit on a flight before, even during turbulence.

This is a phobia, much like the fear of spiders or heights. My emetophobia was cured with hypnotherapy sessions, it has been life changing.
