The first time I heard of it was about 10 years ago when I met a woman who suffered from this same phobia. I looked into it for her and found that it's not all that uncommon, especially in anxious children. It's called emetophobia. If you are interested you'll find quite a large number of web sites on the topic if you Google it. Since I met that woman, I keep running into people online and IRL with this same phobia. I know there are at least a couple here with it who have just not seen your post yet.
