Wow thank you so much for sharing this! I never would have thought that there’s a name for it but I try to avoid throwing up under ANY circumstances. My biggest fear (irrational, I know) is to suffocate when I throw up. I’d rather lay in bed with food poisoning for 2 days straight instead of throwing up once and get the poison out of my body. At races I NEVER throw up. I haven’t thrown up in at least a decade. I connect it to my alcohol problems as a teen. Either way, thanks for giving me the feeling that I am not was weird (and alone) as I thought for the last 30 years haha!
Totally feel that and it's funny - I always thought, that I'm more or less the only one having this problem, but the more I talk about it openly, the more I realize that I'm not alone!

That's why it's so valuable to speak openly about such issues. Once again thank you so much!
