Vomiting

Emetophobia, the medical word for the dread of vomiting, affects an unexpectedly large number of people. Although it's uncommon in a severe version. 8.8% of people nationwide say they have at least a minor fear of throwing up. It's also not difficult to comprehend, given that throwing up is not particularly enjoyable. So why does it even need to happen?

Well, it seems obvious from a very fundamental perspective that you vomit because something inside of you needs to come out right away. And that's precisely what is taking place. Your digestive system has been stimulated to warn you that you may have swallowed something harmful. Something that is extremely irritating and that your body no longer needs to be around.

There are also mechanical causes of vomiting, such as illnesses that affect your stomach's muscles and nerves or even stress, but that is a different problem. Vomiting, a sign of an underlying virus or infection, is your body's attempt to hasten your recovery by ejecting the illness as quickly as possible.
