Is It Possible To Get Infected By Hearing Someone Vomit?
Landing after a 6 hr plane ride to London, England i had to use the washroom. When i was leaving i heard someone start vomiting 2 or 3 times. I quickly left. I am an emetophobe and was wondering if i should worry about if i will catch something from that poor women.

Hi,
You will not get infected by hearing someone vomit (for sure). You don't have to worry about it!
Take care
Rajesh
