Ever since I was 12 I had this disgust..almost fear of Gum. I use to chew it a lot when I was a kid, But now I cant stand it.
I get disgusted when I hear people chewing gum. You know that feeling when some scratches the Chalk board with their nails?? Well thats the feeling I get when I hear, see or smell chewed gum. Do I have a phobia?? Is it normal?? I can't buy Mint toothpaste or mouthwash because I get really disgusted and it reminds me of gum. Help!!

I'm with you on this issue. After turning about 10, I got sick of gum. I don't care for it and it is everywhere where I work. I don't get the fixation of it.
One of my pet peeves is seeing someone who is otherwise perfect, smacking on a chunk of gum! Some people really work it too. What a shame.
I think you are just fine. Everyone has smells and tastes they associate with bad and good experiences. Your mouthwash is one of those things. Try a different flavor.

You need to talk to a psychiatrist (as odd as it sounds) because you need to get to the root of your problem with gum. It is not serious but it will help you sleep better at night.

Don't worry about it. I have diabetic neuropathy and cannot stand to see or watch someone walking barefoot on a rough surface. If they are on sand or grass it doesn't bother me. I seem to project the roughness to my feet and it sends chills up my spine. SO, TO SAY THE LEAST, YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR PHOBIA.
