Why does a person vomit after consuming concentrated salt solution?

The person starts vomiting due the process of osmosis in the stomach. The cells in the stomach lose all the water because the solution is hypertonic, and when there is excess of water in the stomach, the person starts vomiting. Hope that helps!!
