Fear of vomit causing severe anxiety!!!!

For as long as I can remember I have had a massive fear of vomit ( not vomiting, fear of others puking) when ever I even think about someone throwing up it gives me anxiety. When I see someone even about to I start panicking. I live in an apartment complex and someone threw up in the parking lot and now I'm scared to go out there. It's makes me panic and want to cry. I'm terrified that it will rain and it will cause the puke to spread all over the place, I don't know why I have such an awful fear of it. I just don't know what to do. I remember a few months ago I was in the emergency room (I usually do not go to them because the fear) and we were sitting next the the garbage can (which also made me worry) and someone got up and threw up right into it, I remember being shocked, scared and didn't know what to do. I sat as far away from it as possible and didn't even move for about 10 minutes because I was trying not to panic so much. My family hates when I bring up the fear because they its stupid and I should just get over it. What do I do??
