Best Answer

Simple--vomiting increases abdominal pressure and causes a sheering force as vomit pushes against sphincters that typically prevent backflow from the stomach into the esophagus. The stomach is a powerful muscle when aggravated (like by a toxin) and it will contract hard until it expels the problem material.
