Do you sympathy vomit?

RiotDemon had a video to watch said Mon, Oct 24th 2016 at 7:58am ET

This is about throwing up, so it’s obviously gross. You’re warned.

I was driving someone home yesterday and they were getting nauseous. As soon as I asked if they wanted me to pull over, they threw up on themself.

My stomach started churning immediately. Luckily I got the car safely off onto the shoulder. My passenger kept vomiting for a few minutes and I had to walk away. The sound kept my stomach on high alert and if I smelled it a little bit, vomit would bubble up. Trying to get a bag out of the back of my car and something for my passenger to cover up with did me in. I’m glad the last thing I ate was just a bunch of melon.

This is one of the reasons I decided that nursing probably wouldn’t be for me. Most of the time in the past, if there was someone vomiting close by, I would end up vomiting as well. I normally high tail it out of the area if I hear someone getting sick.

Are you the same way? Are you the person that can hold someone’s hair out of the way?

It’s a survival response. Back when we were evolving, everyone in the band/tribe shared the same food. If someone ate something spoiled or poisonous, everyone did. So when the first member of the group to get sick puked, the scent triggered everyone else get rid of the dangerous food the same way. If the smell of vomit triggers your vomit reflex, it’s just your old survival skills stretching their legs.

- @moondrake I figured it was something like that. I guess my bloodline isn’t evolved enough. Damnit.

No; but then I’ve been told I have no sympathy for anyone. Not even the devil.

  Might have some sympathy for that bit of glimmer.
  
  Looks like perhaps 1989?

I almost did that yesterday morning at a diner in L.A. We were visiting our friends who have a four-year-old daughter. She coughed a little bit and then her pancakes started making a reappearance. Mom caught it in a napkin and then escorted her away. I felt the first little retch but was able to relax, clear my mind, and breathe in time to avoid disaster.

watch saving private ryan for the full effect.

we sometime play a game in our family that goes like this, say a word for vomit and then, clockwise continue to add to the list.

so let’s try that here, and we’ll see when the list ends…
