I am terrified of soft boiled eggs, the sight or smell of them starts a panic attack. If I am in a hotel breakfast room and someone is eating boiled eggs, I have to leave the room immediately. If they appear on TV, I have to cover my face until my wife tells me it is safe to look. I am experiencing fear just writingabout them. As a child, I had a partial blockage of my intestine. This condition is normally diagnosed (and operated on) within months but I had it until I was thirteen. The symptoms included occasional violent vomiting. Hence my mother fed me easy-to-digest soft boiled eggs. Presumably, I subconciously associated boiled eggs with illness and vomiting.
