Problem: Article: In most cases, emetophobia is triggered by something specific, such as a scent or sitting in the back seat of a car. Figuring out what triggers your emetophobia can help you avoid it or tackle it in therapy. Some common triggers are:  Seeing or thinking of another person or animal vomiting Pregnancy Travel or transportation Medication Scents or smells Foods For many people, dealing with their emetophobia may be as simple as avoiding what triggers the disorder and its related anxiety. However, be aware that this may not always be possible, such as if you have a sick child, and you should have alternative ways to deal with your fear if necessary.  Figure out in advance how to avoid your trigger. For example, if certain foods stimulate your fear, don’t keep them in your home. If you are in a restaurant, you could ask your tablemates to avoid or cover foods that may make you sick. Stay away from your triggers as long as it doesn’t affect your life or that of someone else. For example, if using a public restroom makes you nauseous, make sure this isn’t causing you to stay at home. Emetophobia is relatively common, but it can still be debilitating if you suffer from it. Making peace with yourself about fearing vomit may help you relax, which could actually help you deal with the anxiety related to your fear.  Accepting your emetophobia may also help others accept your disorder. Embracing your disorder may not happen overnight because the fear can be significant. Gradually tell yourself “It’s okay to have this fear, and I am okay.” Consider giving daily positive affirmations to help bolster your confidence and relax you. For example, tell yourself: “I take public transportation successfully every day and today will be no different.” Read online forums from sources such as the International Emetophobia Society, which can give you tips on accepting your disorder as well as put you in touch with emetophobic people. People react strangely to your behavior in situations where you’re avoiding triggers. Be honest about your disorder with others, which may prevent uncomfortable situations or questions. In turn, this may help you relax and control your fear.  Let others know about your fear before anything happens. For example, if the smell of ranch dressing bothers you, say, “I just want to let you know that I apologize if I react badly. I have this disorder that makes me nauseous when I’m around ranch dressing,” or, “Changing dirty diapers makes me slightly nauseous, even as cute as your baby is.” You may find that people can help you avoid triggers like this by not ordering the food or changing diapers when you’re not present. Consider using humor to your benefit. Making a joke about your emetophobia may release tension. For example, if you’re in a car you can say, “May I please sit in the front seat so this doesn’t turn into the vomit comet?” Some people may not understand emetophobia or believe it exists. Try and be understanding if they stigmatize you and realize that their behavior may simple come from ignorance about the disorder.  Ignore any statements that upset you or counter them with information on the disorder. Talking to or leaning on family and friends can help you deal with your feelings and any stigmatization your feel. Because emetophobia is so common, there are different actual and virtual support groups you can join. Being a part of a community that has similar experiences may help you more effectively deal you’re your emetophobia or get treatment for it.  Take part in discussions and forums on your type of emetophobia. Ask your doctor or local hospital about support groups. You can also search online for virtual communities, including the International Emetophobia Society.  Consider joining a support group for people who suffer from anxiety, since emetophobia is an anxiety disorder. Groups such as the Anxiety and Depression Association of America can help you locate a local or virtual support group for your emetophobia-related anxiety.  Talk to your family and friends about your disorder, which may provide immediate support if your fears flare up.
Summary: Identify your triggers. Avoid triggers. Accept your disorder. Communicate with people. Tolerate social stigmas. Join a support group.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Flavor shots are sweetened and flavored syrups that you can add to coffees and other drinks. They come in a variety of flavors, and you can buy them at grocery stores and some cafes. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of syrup to each demitasse after you pull the espresso shot. Popular shots to add to macchiatos include vanilla, caramel, and chocolate. Macchiatos are not traditionally served with whipped cream, but you can still garnish your drink with a little whip if you like. After adding any flavor shots and pouring the milk, spoon or spray a small dollop of whipped cream on top of the beverage. Grated chocolate is a delicious way to finish an espresso beverage, especially if you’ve got some whipped cream on top already. When your macchiato is ready, shave a block of chocolate shavings directly onto the milk or whipped cream. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate to garnish your drink. Another way to change the flavor of your macchiato is to add a dash of ground cinnamon to the top after the milk has been poured. If you're getting your macchiato with whipped cream, sprinkle the cinnamon on last. Other spices you can try with your macchiato include nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.

SUMMARY: Add flavor shots. Top it with whipped cream. Garnish it with chocolate. Add some spice with cinnamon.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make sure no carpet beetles can return, check your screens and doors for holes and keep them closed as much as you can. Look outside and throw away old spider webs and nests from birds, rodents, or bees, which carpet beetles can hide in.  You should also examine any flowers or plants that you bring inside for signs of carpet beetles or larvae. If you see any, leave the plant outside. For a particularly stubborn or recurring infestation, you can spray liquid insecticide around the lower outside portion of your home and near entry points. Insecticide can affect other, non-harmful bugs, though, so only apply it outside as a last resort. Vacuuming carpeting and washing your clothes and other fabrics frequently, at least once every 2 or so weeks, is the best way to prevent a carpet beetle infestation. Treat spills and stains immediately as well; food and sweat stains on fabrics can attract carpet beetles. Make sure to keep hair, lint and dust bunnies to a minimum, as carpet beetles like to feed on these. Store off-season clothes, fabrics, and starches in sealed plastic bags or containers. Air them out in the sun and brush them at least once a year to check for an infestation.  For extra protection, layer your stored fabrics with resin strips filled with insecticide. You can also use moth balls, flakes, or crystals. If you do find an infestation, wash or dry clean the items before storing them again. Carpet beetles will only eat organic products, so choosing synthetic materials will lessen your chances of getting an infestation. This is especially helpful for carpets, rugs, and furniture.  Synthetic materials typically used for rugs and carpeting include nylon, polyester, triexta, and olefin. For furniture, synthetic options include acrylic, acetate, nylon, and polyester.
Summary:
Look for and remove any outdoor sources or nests. Clean carpet beetle-prone areas frequently. Seal unused fabric and clothes in plastic containers. Choose synthetic materials over organic ones.
