I have the strongest(or is it weakest?) gag reflex, of anybody I know. The doctor CAN'T use the tongue depressor on me, or I'll hurl. I can't express the INTENSE gagging I feel, when that stick touches me back there. Makes me want to hurl now, just thinking of it. I must be terrified of choking....

Love that term! I suppose familiarity does reduce your sensitivity to it, but I suppose that does depend on the person. I'd just leave the room and let them handle their own business transactions (j/k hehe).

I had that struggle too! Plumbed for weakest because my gag reflex probably couldn't surpress a fart in a windsock. My mum is the same when it comes to things in her mouth. She can only just cope with brushing her teeth without gagging.
