That I'm quite aware that the contamination caused by vomit is my awareness that vomit had been at that site. No amount of cleanser can wash away that awareness. And it's the awareness that causes my discomfort at a spot, and thus it's contamination. It's contaminated by my awareness that vomit had been there.
I can't seem to shake that awareness either. Decades later I still can tell you the many contaminates spots around my old home and my new one, and a few parking lots and garages. Places that I circle if I can, and if I can't I'm aware that I've stepped in an area that once was touched by vomit and that I am not contaminated by awareness myself. Although fortunately that contamination is reasonably time limited.
