19. Geumophobia: Fear of taste

While it is understandable to have an aversion to unpleasant, overpowering tastes (say, cod liver oil mixed with a generous dollop of raw fish roe?), geumophobiacs shun even those flavors that most other people would find pleasant. Those who suffer from this phobia have a preference for bland-tasting cuisine, and will, as a rule, eat only the foods they are familiar with. A person with an irrational fear of taste may become physically sick to their stomach when confronted with intense or even moderate food flavors.
