As someone who suffers emetophobia (fear of vomit) i quite regularly stumble across things online to do with sickness (mostly videos) that i find very triggering. I think there should be a law that any video displaying content that could be triggering to people with emetophobia has a trigger warning clearly on it.
There are strobe or flash photography warnings used for epilepsy sufferers. There should be similar trigger warnings for people with any fears that may spark a panic attack or other reaction such as fainting. Examples include emetophobia, arachnophobia, haemophobia etc

I severely suffer from Emetophobia and I find myself watching videos that feature sickness and immediately have a 'reaction' (panic attack) to it.
