Is vomiting contagious? Everything to do with that question is nauseating, especially the video clip.
Drunk chicks are hot – until they’re not.
Question: Did one of them vomit into the other’s mouth and then they both unlocked and ejected?
Recycled Food.
These environmentalcases are taking it too far.
Still better than Indian Food.
…it actually kind of IS contagious. The sight sets some off, the smell others, the sound yet others, and some enjoy the entire medley as the symphonics of reverse peristalsis reaches an almost divine crescendo of backwash.
I had to deal with it fairly frequently in the course of my schlepping the sick to places better equipped to sanitize the surfaces. Its kind of a toss for me as to whether it was the sound of tossed cookies pattering on the innards of a plastic bag or the odor of bile wafting from same. Some I knew would apply Vasoline to the upper lip to absorb the fragrance, but I had a ‘stache for one thing and found the smell of Vasoline nearly as repellant as the scent of semi-digestion and FAR more permanent, so I personally went au naturel and learned that I could hitch a rising gorge a couple times and the scent would go pretty fast the sensory extinction, then I could get on with my life without decorating someone else’s with my erstwhile stomach contents.
Visually it was no treat either, especially the yellow pools in a sea of greyish brown chunky, but there were facts to be had by observation (like pill fragments in a suicide) that were necessary to collect, so it was just another necessity to drink a large cup of get the hell over it.
Sometimes the quality was weird. I remember suctioning what looked like dried slips of meat out of a stroke patent’s throat, so dry they plugged my portable Laerdal suction unit up. Didn’t have time to analyze it further tho, as about then a cop rolled across my back in a tussle with dude’s son, but different story for another day. In any case, that guy lived.
Another one that stands out is quite a bit less amusing. A 20ish fellow collaped during a basketball game from what we (much later) found was a blowout in his aorta, but we humped and pumped him because (at the time) it was REALLY weird to see young people die of a cardiac arrest. One of the things that happen before they are tubed is that some air goes in the stomach, and this induces some vomiting to go along with the sputum to add to the attraction. No big but you GOTTA suction it lest it get blown into a lung and cause an abcess. We were past there kinda quick with an ET tube being passed, but there was still some milky crap in the guy’s buccal cavity and while we were working him, some pooled in his closed left eye. That hit me as both particularly nasty and a bad sign, because if you ain’t reacting to puke in your eye AT ALL, it kinda suggests you are no longer an inhabitant of the shell we are busily abusing.
HE died.
Most vomit wasn’t so memorable after the fact, except for combing for pills as I said, looking for contaminants like bleach or cleaning fluids (the breath of a suicidal ‘tween who chugged Clorox is surprisingly springtime fresh), little kids looking for objects, and as something to be got rid of to prevent further problems elsewhere (like more choking of abcess as mentioned before).
…one other standout was this guy at Red Lobster. It was a packed house and this guy wasn’t moving air, turned intersting shades and went down after being unresponsive to abdominal thrusts, back blows, and what we then called the Heimlich Maneuver. Things weren’t going great but we had finger sweeps in the protocol then (they aren’t now), and once he went South enough I risked a dig and found this rubbery chunk of what I assume was fish and fingered it out. This both cleared his airway and inspired copius vomiting right there under the table in a packed eatery, with the miasma of cheezy biscuits half-gone to their reward lending a particularly revolting stench to the atmosphere…AND NO ONE LEFT. The people at the table immediately BEHIND the guy we were engaged in a life-or-death struggle with DID get up, but MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE so they could WATCH like it was freaking dinner theatre. We got Bucky all packaged and wheeled him out, a bit worse for wear but breathing in his own by the grace of God with his dinner companion in train, to a rare round of applause as we wended our way between the unhelpful tables.
I have no idea if Red Lobster cleaned up under the table or not before seating the next guy. They WERE pretty busy, but that part was not my problem…
Throwing up during sex = Dump On The Hump
A sequala to excessive alcohol consumption.
That was one gross smooch. Thank goodness, that video was short and only 6 seconds. Was the guy that she was kissing named Ralph or Chuck. That kiss probably kept that guy from getting laid later that evening.
That bitch never chews her food.
I had a baby throw up in my mouth during a recusitation. He was new and we didn’t have masks small enough, and protocol at the time was to start with rescue breaths. Got him going after he pucked in my mouth, but he was a little guy so *spit* and restart.
Better than lwtting him die.
He was febrile from meningitis. I didn’t get anything tho. Baby puke is not like adult anyway, milk diet kinda smells but that’s it.
…no rotten meat there…
It absolutely is contagious. Our Reserve brothers would join us for summer camp and do soldier shit. Sometimes this involved assistance from our Zoomie (Air Force) friends and their flying machines.
A combat landing of a C-130 involves starting from above small arms range,about a mile, to wheels on the dirt in as short of a time as the guys flying it are comfortable with. For the guys in the hot, dark, crowded part of that plane you know it’s started when the floor falls out from under you and if your chin strap isn’t fastened your steel pot (yeah, I’m old) lifts off your head and sails away.
This always resulted in one of our visiting brothers disgorging, with others following suit in short order. It’s why we made them sit together at the front of the bay.
The Zoomies will make you clean up your mess too, it’s their plane and at the end of the day they have to ride it home.
With some vomits you can identify the food that caused it. I saw one laying next to a parked car once. I could make out that it was the upheaved result of a partly digested thick crust pepperoni, ham, pineapple, jalapeno, and anchovie pizza.
I used the scientific methods of close observation and smell. Not from tasting it. No. I didn’t do that.
Yes. 🤢
I guarantee that if someone vomits into my mouth, I cannot promise what happens next since that’s never happened, but it makes the most sense to vomit and rinse your mouth out with 1000 gallons of water.
BTW, no chick is THAT hot. Sayonara.

Lowell’s story reminded me of the time the Air Force loaded about 100 of us into web seats on a C-141 to fly from Robins AFB to Eielson AFB in Alaska. There was a stopover in Washington to refuel and they gave us box lunches of cold fried chicken with some rolls and an apple I think. They must have let the chicken sit out too long and it wasn’t long before we were all gagging and trying to keep down the gorge. We managed to land without anyone doing the rainbow yawn, but I’m convinced if just one person had barfed that would have been too much for the rest.

“Better than lwtting him die.”
========================
The bottom line of why we act in service of others. Whatever the risk. Who are we if we don’t care enough to act for others in need? A need we may soon have ourselves. The golden rule is very deep when it relates to society/human existence.
Swapping puke is kind of endearing!
I had a friend who was a radioman on a TinCan (Destroyer) and in the North Atlantic that can get a little rough they had a GENERAL QUARTERS drill. Now he was an old salt that had been thru that many times over the years, but when he was running to his station the ship took a roll of greater than 30 degrees and BOOM he puked into the mail slot where the crew would send out their mail. Once it goes thru the slot on postal clerks can handle it, which made him exempt from cleaning up his own puke! He was on the postal guys shit list for a long time.
If that had been Mr. Creosote or Lard Ass from Stand By Me it would’ve created an epic barf-arama of massive proportions.
Worst episodes of vomit I have ever encountered,came out of my son when he was 3 months old.
He contracted a norovirus that was sweeping our town.
Oddly enough he picked it up during a well baby check.
Pediatric ward was full, so Dr had me bring him into the office and wouldn’t let us leave until my baby was kind of able to keep something down and he was certain my son wouldn’t suffer dehydration.
It’s terrifying, how much vomit can come out of a little tiny baby.
Poor little guy was almost back down to his birth weight by the time he fully kicked the virus.
When I was in 2nd grade in the early 60’s and we were on a school field trip to the local museum, I got sick with both projectile vomiting and the Hershey squirts at the same time. It was a ginormous mess, I think it was from the Campbell’s bean and bacon soup that I had for lunch beforehand. I haven’t eaten bean and bacon soup ever again since then.
Hard to tell which one of those Lovebirds had the gulletgasm.
When I was a teenager, I helped Mom take care of my little sister and three years later, my little brother. Puke and poop abounded but never made me sympathy vomit. I had too much to do to clean them up, make sure they weren’t in pain and if they were really sick, let Mom know (she used to be a nurse).
Then, as I went out on my own, cats have their own puke and poop problems.
It never ends! LOL
Good ol cats and their hairballs coughing up and puking all over the carpet. Damn it Finn, can’t you quit doing that. Gross!
A popular topic on the SNS lecture circuit, it seems.
I was on a charter fishing boat out of Galveston with 80+ people on board. The sea was angry that day, my friend. Only myself and two others didn’t vomit.
Vomit management, post-Coof style.
For KIDS!

That was very Monty Pythonesque and funny, thanks. I’ll never think of Sesame Street the same ever again.
^^^ Sesame Street went all woke anyway. Not worth thinking about any more, outside of a joke.
Worth noting is that THIS was an Avian Flu joke from 2006, but it still seems current. Almost like they’ve been practicing for Coof a long time…
Everything on PBS/NPR etc. has gone woke in the past 5 to 10 years and maybe even longer. It’s time to totally defund all public money from them and let them have permanent pledge drives (which are currently on, I hate pledge drives) to fund all their woke/Anti American/hate whitey/hate God/ globull warming malarkey etc. etc.
Since we’re sharing fun puke tales….
I was scuba diving and did not yet know I was pregnant. 7-9 foot waves on the surface. I was standing at 30 feet depth quietly swaying and admiring God’s handiwork around me when what I mistook for motion-sickness hit me. Blew it out my regulator and the fish swarmed to share the yummy leftovers.
The motion sickness persisted for several days after returning to far inland and I finally put 2 and 2 together….

That is NASTY, having your digestion suspended in a cloud before you. Did you have to swim through the feeding frenzy and your own bile, or could you at least back away?
…seems like it would tangle in wet hair too, gross…
