Nope, not in the least!
I only get squeamish at things that exit the body

nope! I just don't watch!
Yikes, I HATE needles - when they tell me I'm due for a shot, I just tell them that I will do it next time I come in... but most of the time that doesn't work, beacuse my Aunt is the nurse for the DR. that I go to! EEK!

Nope, I actually watch! Don't mind blood draws but I don't fancy the intramuscular injections! Plus I can't be squeamish around needles, I have to poke animals all day!
I hate having to get a shot!!! I used to have to get steroid shots for my eczema...fortunately it was in the backside and I couldn't see it. If I can see it, I can barely breathe I get so paranoid. I try to be a good citizen and donate blood every year, now the red cross knows me & says "honey it's ok, you don't have to donate....you pass out every year & we have to scrape you off the floor!"
Owell... it's the thought that counts!
I don't mind needles...I actually like needles at the dentist..mouth needles feel cool I think (don't judge me too harshly, I know I'm weird)
I don't have a problem with them.
Both my kids do though. Both have - thrown up, passed out and one even stopped breathing once (after passing out).

Oh Yes! You should have seen me the time I had to get an IV put in. It was a good thing I was already straped to the table!

I don't enjoy needles, but don't faint. The worst thing for me is having my cholesterol test because the nurse has to change the tube attached to the needle part way through to take two syringes full. I hate that bit.
Not in the least, which is a good thing - in the past month I've had seven vials of blood drawn and a bone marrow biopsy/aspiration that involved a huuuuuuge needle (think bigger than donating blood!) and a lidocaine shot that hurt more than the big needle!
I hate needles, the feeling of something taking my blood, etc. Most of the time the nurse taking the blood gives me a look and tells me to calm down, etc. No matter what, I get nervous so I hum to myself or do maths problems in my head or anything to distract me.
Nope. Not afraid of needles at all.
I forgot to mention...I AM afraid of certain needles....the ones dentists use to inject lidocaine into what feels like my brain! OW!!!!! I get so scared by those!
I have had quite a few shots recently, yuck! BUT, nope, they don't bother me. I don't necessarily like them, they just don't phase me. I am one of those morbidly curious people that have to watch whatever is being done to them though. I can't stand when they try to trick you. I like to know what to expect.
