Pages placed by emetophobia sufferers:
http://emetophobia.bravepages.com - This is an EXCELLENT site with a list of Frequently Asked Questions about Emetophobia. Worth reading by all sufferers and friends and/or relatives of emetophobes. It's quite enlightening - and you'll probably recognise yourself in some of the scenarios! (The site was previously at http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/dwellers/790/emetophobia.html but there have been difficulties with the web host and it might not always be there!)
Emetophobia information in Norwegian and English at : http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/1920/
The International Emetophobia Society: http://www.emetophobia.co.uk - this site is temporarily unavailable. When Gut Reaction last visited, it was noticed that quite a lot of information had been directly lifted from this site (without my permission) and some of the scenarios outlined were those relating to myself!
http://www.emetonline.co.uk/ - an excellent emetophobia website written by a couple with experience of emetophobia. Highly recommended site.
