If you step into the shoes of someone with this problem, you have to understand how big of a fear this is. The fear is vomiting, but what causes vomiting? This is where the problem starts because theoretically you can get germs anywhere. For example, going to a restaurant can be a very scary place. You don't know if the people preparing your food have washed their hands, cooked the food completely or even sneezed on it. The same thing about being in close proximity with people. Someone could be sick and they could pass it onto you, making you have to vomit.
If these people don't find the solution for emetophobia, they'll end up closing off from the world because in their own little living environment, they can control things. Surprisingly, this phobia embodies many of the characteristics of anxiety. The only known way of dealing with this is through psychological means. It isn't as simple as facing your fears, since this is an issue of anxiety. Sufferers need to be reprogrammed to know that they can't control everything and that is all right. Slowly, but surely they'll come out of their shell.
