So if enough ipecac is absorbed into the bloodstream through the rectal wall, the person will vomit The other zone in the brain that can cause vomiting is the vomit center, which causes vomiting by stimulation from the body's senses (like if we smell something gross, or if we get motion sickness, or if we gag ourselves).
