Maybe 'Repulsed by' I was repulsed by the way she would unknowingly spray phlegm over you while she was talking. (I must admit that I had to look up 'phlegm' to make sure I spelt it correctly)

How about 'alergic to'
I'm alergic to people who unknowingly spread phlegm over people when talking to them.

The phrase "hooked on" has the same meaning as the word addicted
and
Addiction is obsessive compulsion
so
I can see why Woodward chose repulsion as the opposite word
but
To me the opposite of repulsion is attraction
and
the opposite of addiction (hooked on) is apathy or indifference.
apathy (àp´e-thê) noun
1. Lack of interest or concern,

That's right Trellis.
I was using 'hooked on' more in the sense of when someone is 'head over heels' with someone or attracted to. The sense of addicted is more common though.
