Sorry to *** in here, but I deleted your previous posting.

Don't make yourself out to be worse than you are. Following your onion odyssey, with great interest, I in no way gain the impression that it is necessarily a phobia or even need have a psychological basis at all. It might very well be a warning bodily reaction of allergic type or some other form of metabolic issue for which the basis is simply not yet known. Were it otherwise, you would probably be able to trace the whole thing back to a very vivid and specific incident. (My liquidation is in the mail.)

Bit presumptuous, don't you think. The poster should know if he has a phobia (irrational fear which interferes with normal functioning) or not.


lol - he's actually quite right on both counts! Onions do make me ill so it's wise for me to avoid them (I can recall an excellent Spanish meal I had for but was very ill about 40 mins later and it turned out the stock had been made with onions) and I've always been like that for as long as I can remember.

Unfortunately I can also remember an incident when I must have been 6 or 7 I think (though I have almost no memories of my childhood) where my parents, knowing I hated onions, forced me to eat some mashed potato with onion in it. I still recall the 3 pieces sliding down my throat - and then projectile vomiting them back up! That turned a healthy and sensible aversion into a (relatively mild) phobia - but I'd rather be mildly phobic of something I'm allergic to than like it despite the bad effects, cos then I'd really miss being able to eat it :)
