Vomit

Vomiting is the body's natural way of emitting things in the digestive system. The most common causes of vomiting are gastroenteritis, the stomach flu, food poisoning, overeating, food allergies and over-consumption of alcohol. Vomit is usually made up of partly digested food particles and digestive juices, and exits the body through the mouth.

Why do you have a sour taste when you vomit?

I have had this same problem. Just a week ago or so I over drank some wine and got sick. I believe it maybe the stomach acids have changed or dissolved my taste buds on my tongue. For the last week or so all or some of the water I have been drinking tastes sweet. I believe it will turn to a normal taste with time. Also some people believe its high mineral content in water from certain areas that we live. Another explanation is drinking a lot of diet sodas with artificial sweeteners can change the response in the brain to make you think the water is sweet.

How can you remove vomit stains from your carpet?

First remove any solids and gently blot up as much liquid as you can. Apply carpet stain cleaner (test on hidden part of carpet), and let sit for a few minutes. Use a clean, white, cloth and 1 teaspoon mild, non-alkali detergent and 1/2 pint lukewarm water to blot up the rest of the stain and cleaner. If the stain remains, try a solution of 1 tablespoon ammonia and 1 cup warm water to clean the area --again just blot, so you do not spread the stain.

Try renting a rug doctor, or you may have to call someone who cleans carpets.

It depends on how moldy it is. If it's not too bad, and you can easily scrape off the moldy part than I would say go ahead and eat it. If it's very moldy all over I'd be careful because you might get sick.

The USDA Suggests throwing the bread out if it is moldy at all. The mold on grain can make you sick.

Why does heroin make you vomit?

"because your body doesn't like it the illegal drug so it tries to get rid of it"

------

Now for the factual answer;

Actually no. The legality of the drug matters nothing when it comes to causing nausea and vomiting. Also, it has nothing to do with whether or not the body "likes it".

A very common side effect of opiates and opioids is nausea and vomiting. This happens so frequently that in a hospital setting most patients who are given IV opiates are also given some type of antiemetic, (anti nausea drug) such as phenergan (promethazine) to prevent vomiting, and aspiration.

There are quite a few people who don't feel any nausea, nor vomit, after using opiates and opioids, legal ones or illegal ones, so it's not universal.

Heroin, which is illegal in the United States, is not illegal in all countries. In fact, in the UK, pure pharmaceutical heroin is prescribed, albeit rarely. Many people who are prescribed legal heroin feel nausea and then vomit after receiving it.

The body, purely a biological entity, has no way of liking something or not liking something. It doesn't feel an emotion such as like or dislike. The mind, on the other hand, could cause a somatic reaction such as nausea and vomiting if a person who was afraid of the drug, or forced to take it against their will. However, most people who decide to inject heroin, in places where it is illegal, and do so without a prescription, aren't really against using it.

It's purely a physical response, and common. It's also common with not only heroin, but Morphine, Methadone, Demerol, Fentanyl, Dilaudid, Percodan, Percocet, Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin, and any and all of the Tylenol and Codeine preparations. It can also be caused by cough syrups which contain hydrocodone, although many times they also contain promethazine, which is also a cough suppressant.

Hope this helps clear up any misinformation.

Usually by taking the first two fingers of either hand and shoving them down their throat, making repeated movements to aggravate the gag reflex. The automatic reaction is to stop gagging, but vomiting only occurs when the gagging wont stop; so bulimics gag themselves for as long as it takes to heave up a portion of what they ate. some people develop or are born with the ability to throw up on command, without the gag reflex.
