I don't know if it's a considered a real phobia, but I'm terrified of rotten/expired food. The thought of it makes me gag.

Popsicles. Not popsicle STICKS... just the popsicles in general. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.

I am terrified of grapes. I am not scared of choking or food poisoning or anything I'm just scared of the actual fruit. I can't even be in the same room as someone who's eating grapes and I won't go in the fridge if I know theres grapes in there.

It seems I can hardly ever finish the last bite of anything solid or bread-like like a sandwich without feeling nauseous. I think it's because I feel like the last bite is the wrong size and I am afraid of swallowing air along with it.

I freak out when people touch my cheese!! lol as crazsy as it sounds. I can handle it if i see people with gloves preparing my food.. but if im at home and someone tries to make me a sandwich or some thing i freak out. jus the thought of the dirt on someone hands being on my cheese makes me sick to my stomach.

I am absolutly petrified of jelly and jelly like substances im not exactly a dramatic girly person but i cant even look at jelly with out screaming out or feeling as if im going to throw up. Its horrible I cant even be with my friends if they eat it. I dont even know why or how it started.

I'm not afraid of the taste of fruit (juices). In fact I love a good glass of orange juice, but I can't make myself swallow actual fruit. Something about the way it feels in my mouth just makes me gag and cry. My parents have always gotten on to me about needed to balance my diet, but I just can't eat fruit!
