Advice needed. Severe Slug Phobia

[elisa2502]

Wondered if anyone could advise. Please don't take the mickey as its really starting to affect me.
I have real issues with slugs/snails. Not that I'm afraid of them but if I see them I can be physically sick. If I see squashed ones I will literally throw up.
Last night I saw a squashed one on the patio and was violently sick. The sight of it was in my thoughts all the time. I hate this time of year.
My partner has to get my car out in the mornings so incase there is any out in the garden.
I have no idea where it stems from. But I cannot carry on like this. I feel permanently sick.
Has anyone been through/going through similar?

Wow, i thought i was the only one! I am exactly the same, actual vomit if i see a slug, i cant even look at them on TV it started years ago in my old house when they were getting in the house and there were trails on the carpet and walls shudders i had lines of salt all over the house

Afraid i dont have any solutions, i just avoid them at all costs

Not as badly as you but I do have a thing about slugs-not keen on snails- but slugs really make me shudder and scream loudly on one occasion bringing my partner to the back garden. I can't stand the thought of using the usual methods to get rid of them. Snails I deport across the road using special tongs (don't know what neighbours think!). Slugs I try to control with nematodes that kill them before they grow. Obviously that only works in my garden though. I do understand what you say about the thought of them getting in your head. I never used to have a garden and have just had to train myself to calm down since I've had one, but I still feel revulsion. Sorry no real advice but I do empathise.
