The nose and mouth are connected by the throat. When you vomit, if you are leaning over, sometimes the liquid can go past the mouth into the nose.

or they just close their mouths and blow out their nose

The immediate risk is if some of it is inhaled into the lungs. It's a choking hazard and may eventually lead to something nasty called a chemical pneumonia. Long term risks for repeated vomiting is damages to teeth, mouth, throat ASO due to the acidity of the stomach contents.

We all know vomiting kills you when it happens in your sleep but vomiting throw your nose is nearly impossible. If you do you could lose your sense of smell, vomit for a long period of time and a truly serious nose bleed. I have to warn you not to do it. So avoid it.

Ayraayra: Ok for one vomitting through your nose is possible, second you could aspirate the vomit into your lungs which could cause aspiration pneumonia, inflammation, or lung abscesses.
