Best Answer

If you ingest certain hazardous materials you shouldinduce vomiting.

If the hazardous material you ingest is corrosive, then vomiting would allow the material to attack the throat area for a second time, with severe consequences.

Vomiting should never be induced in a person who is not conscious as the material might be aspirated into the lungs, causing even more serious problems.
