Weakness: Affliction imposed rather than damage?

Hm. A more generic version might be something like:
Allergy (var)
There is some normally innocuous substance which causes you to suffer unpleasant symptoms; exactly what those symptoms are depends on the allergy. Treat exposure to the substance as an Affliction. Point value depends on the severity of the Affliction (measured in the % modifier for the effect it causes) and how common the substance you are allergic to is:

Rare: -1/20%
Occasional: -1/10%
Common: -1/5%
Very Common: -3/10%

Assume that Revulsion is actually -50% in irritant conditions, such as nauseated + moderate pain. This is somewhat less incapacitating than RAW, but not dramatically so.
