* Apricot from ''GalaxyAngelRune'' and ''[[VideoGame/GalaxyAngel Galaxy Angel II]]'' is a female example, whose [[DoesNotLikeMen androphobia]] is so strong that it manifests into SuperStrength and she [[MegatonPunch hurls any man that touches her several meters into the air]] -- the exception being the game's lead, Kazuya. Oddly enough this affectation is also in the television series, despite the [[ImprobablyFemaleCast lack of fodder]].

* On ''{{Daria}},'' one episode has the protagonist get a mysterious rash on her skin which turns out to be stress-related. She first gets it at the Zon when she and Jane are hanging out with her crush, Trent, and at the very end of the episode gets a suddenly relapse when Trent shows up on her front door.
* In one ep of ''FairlyOddParents'', Trixie falls for Timmy after he loses his emotions. When he doesn't respond, she decides to date Chester to spite him, much to Chester's dismay; he actually breaks out in hives.

-->-- Pearls of wisdom from ''WaynesWorld''

* In ''{{Sinfest}}'',

* Xellos from {{Slayers}} is allergic to, in addition to love, any and all positive emotions.

* Alex Treveney from ''{{Nightschool}}: The Weirn Books''. If she says that she likes or loves something, it will explode.
* Sunako from ''YamatoNadeshikoShichiHenge''. She completely freaks out, nosebleeds to the point of hemorrhage and passes out whenever she sees "bright creatures." In a slight subversion, this applies to females as well as males, but is usually centered on her {{Bishounen}}...housemates.

* In the manga ''[[ZodiacPI Zodiac P.I.]]'', the smart, cool, and aloof Hiromi breaks out in a rash whenever a girl, even his sister, touches him, owing to a love letter gone badly as a child. He gets over it.

* Naeka of KamenNoMaidGuy is like this initially, due to the fact that her LethalChef tendencies caused to her accidentally poison her first crush. She gets over it, with some help from Fubuki. The whole thing then backfires spectacularly when she finds out [[spoiler: that her secret admirer is a girl.]]
* Inverted in ''MariaHolic''. The protagonist is a [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbian]] but breaks out in hives whenever she's touched by a boy. HilarityEnsues, being that the antagonist is a cross-dressing boy.
* Fuko in ''{{Gilgamesh}}'' sneezes when in proximity to her (current) crush.
* Yukina in ''SeraphimCall'' passes out whenever confronted by men (even over the vidphone). It is so bad that she lives in isolation, and wears a special suit that inflates as a cushion whenever she is passing out.
* Shogo from ''ApollosSong'' might count, except his reaction is "violent revulsion and pathological hatred" instead of "fear".
* ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'''s Haruhi has this affliction in the manga for a brief period of time. She has all these 'symptoms' such as heart palpitations and feeling feverish around Tamaki after he had opened up to her more about his past and then kissed her on the head when he left. She thinks she has some sort of illness or that her heart is rejecting her. She got better a chapter or two later.

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'''s Ami has a near-allergic reaction to getting a love letter, among other much more extreme and neurotic behaviors in "Ami-chan's First Love" a [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] side-story later adapted into an animated short preceding the ''[=SuperS=]'' NonSerialMovie. The short film version creates an AdaptationInducedPlothole, as the original [[Anime/SailorMoon anime]]'s continuity saw her in a relationship with CanonForeigner Ryo Urawa, with no indication of a love phobia.

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'''s Ami has a near-allergic reaction to getting a love letter, among other much more extreme behaviors (''Ami-chan's First Love'' Special). This completely contradicted her relationship with Urawa in the first season -- which might have to do with Urawa being a character who never existed in the original [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]], whereas the aforementioned special was adapted from one of the manga's side stories. Ami being a CovertPervert doesn't help either.

* The song ''Tongue Tied'' by Danny John-Jules (memorably featured in RedDwarf) is about the singer trying to confess his love to a woman, but suffering a variety of symptoms from weak knees to ''vomiting'' every time he tries to talk to her.

* ''Manga/SailorMoon'''s Ami has a near-allergic reaction to getting a love letter, among other much more extreme behaviors (''Ami-chan's First Love'' Special). This completely contradicted her relationship with Urawa in the first season -- which might have to do with Urawa being a character who never existed in the original manga, whereas the aforementioned special was adapted from one of the manga's side stories. Ami being a CovertPervert doesn't help either.

* Daria, in her [[{{Daria}} eponymous show]], broke out into stress hives when her love interest was around. Only happened in one episode.

** In general, Chester just seems to have not hit puberty yet---he also finds A.J.'s crush on "Timantha" disturbing. (Granted, [[{{Squick}} it]] ''[[{{Squick}} was,]]'' [[{{Squick}} but still.]])

[[folder:Fanfiction]]
* [[KingdomHearts Sora]] in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7262795/1/Love-Sick Love Sick]] violently throws up even if he just SEES a girl. It varies, though, depending on age (girls closest to his age do the worst) and appearance (one girl looked so much like a guy he was unaffected until he realized "he" was a "she"). Kairi is labeled as the most dangerous girl he's ever encountered thanks to just a '''glance''' at hear causing the most violent reactions in his '''life'''.

* In ''{{Persona 3}}'', one of the potential social links is a girl who can barely look straight to a boy.

Exaggeration of the nervousness and discomfort one feels at approaching someone cute to the point that they become physically sick (major turnoff). If the character is lucky, they might find the one person who doesn't trigger the reaction. Compare LoveMakesYouCrazy, DoesNotLikeMen ([[HeManWomanHater or women]]), and ChasteHero.

Compare CannotTalkToWomen, CripplingFearOfSexuality.

* Tavros, of ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'', is a ShrinkingViolet by nature. It only gets worse when he's propositioned by Gamzee (and later Dave, who does so as a joke- though Tavros doesn't realize that). This is likely because Vriska's abusive stalking turned him off towards romance as a whole.

* Cultist in the TowerDefenseGame ''Leave [[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]] Alone!'' states that "hugs make me break out in [[{{Squick}} huge]] [[BodyHorror cysts]]."

* In ''SuperRobotWars'', this is the aftermath of Tytti Noorbuck after witnessing [[spoiler:her would-be lover, Ricardo Silvera, protects her by TakingTheBullet directed to her from her ArchNemesis]]. After that, she was scared to form any relationship with another man.

->'''Wayne:''' I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, it was never meant to be.

* Alex Treveney from Nightschool: The Weirn Books. If she says that she likes or loves something, it will explode.

* Junta, the lead from ''DNA2'', vomited uncontrollably around ''any'' girl that aroused him, not just his love interest.
* Yukinari from ''Manga/GirlsBravo'' had literal allergies to girls, vaguely explained as being a victim of bullying.
** It also turns out that the BigBad ''is'' the BigBad because [[spoiler: she's allergic to boys.]]
