It could be a number of things. You might be afraid of the germs involved in vomit, or of getting sick yourself. If the dear is irrational, however, and you feel it is affecting you too much, you might be suffering from emetophobia: fear of vomiting. Talk to a therapist.

The fear of vomiting is known as emetophobia. There is also a fear of germs, which is known as germophobia. This is common among those who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
