I am scared of mayonnaise. It can't touch me or anything of mine or I will throw up. I don't even want to know what would happen if it got in my mouth, I tasted it once and it was sick and now I am scared of it. I can handle it if people are eating it, as long as it's not in large visible globs. I can't touch a container of mayonnaise or move it in the fridge to get something. The stuff is just nasty. I can't be the only one scared of mayonnaise. Do you know what the fear is called or anyone else who has it? Thanks!

Do not fear mayonnaise. Although some people think it sounds strange, mayonnaise works miracles for burgers, transforming a slightly-too dry burger and an over-toasted bun into pure heaven.

How old are you? You stated that you 'tasted it once and it was sick' and now you are 'scared of it'. It can't touch you, or anything of yours or you will throw up. I have to tell you, I really don't believe this. I am not undermining you 'fear' but I have problems believing that something like maynonniase is having this kind of effect on you. Let's examine what mayo really is:
Mayonnaise is a thick, creamy sauce or dressing that is made of oil, egg yolks, lemon juice or vinegar, and seasonings. It's not the same as salad dressing, which doesn't contain egg yolks and is generally sweeter than mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is made by combining lemon juice or vinegar with egg yolks. Eggs (containing the emulsifier lecithin) bind the ingredients together and prevent separation. Then, oil is added drop by drop as the mixture is rapidly whisked. Adding oil too quickly (or insufficient, rapid whisking) will keep the two liquids from combining (emulsifying). But, as the sauce begins to thicken, oil can be added more rapidly. Seasonings are whisked in after all of the oil has been added. Blenders, mixers and food processors make it easy to make homemade mayonnaise, which many gourmets feel is far superior in taste and consistency to commercial mayonnaise. I wish I knew (you and many like you have not stated what exactly it is that restricts you from mayo.) If it's about orgin, Christianity, the websites below should help. Otherwise, this is something that you need to try and get over. It serves no purpose, it makes no sense, it's silly,

I'm not TERRIFIED of it, but gosh I hate the stuff too! I refuse to touch it or it's container, or even pass my friend a packet of mayonnaise at the table when she asks for one! I don't think there's a name for it, because it's so simple. So you're not the only one ;)

Dr. Phil did a show on irrational phobias, but I don't think he covered mayonaisse. You can overcome the fear, and I think you should work on this!

Well I'm not scared of it but I can't let it touch me and if I even see it I pretty much gag.

You might ask yourself if it reminds you of a bodily fluid.
