Can regular vomiting harm you or kill you?

Vomiting can be harmful if one does it often (like bulemics)

But no, vomiting can only become dangerous if you do not keep hydrated and cause an electrolyte imbalence.

The acid is probably the cause of the throat pain.

Be sure to keep hydrated.If you cannot drink liquids, sip them.About a tablespoon every 10-15 minutes or so throughout the day.Ask someone to pick you up some gatorade, smart water or pedialyte.They contain important electrolytes that will help you.

Sounds like you might have Noro virus.Here are ways to prevent it in the future and to prevent spreading it to others:

"Norwalk virus"

(Just remember that hand sanitizers will not kill this virus.House hold cleaners such as Lysol will also not kill you.You must use bleach.)

The Norwalk virus causes viral Gastroenteritis which is known as the nasty 24 hour bug that causes explosive and sudden diarrhea and projectile vomiting.Usually non life threating but can cause complications in the very young,elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

PREVENTION-Wash your hands before preparing food/eating food and most importantly, TOUCHING YOUR MOUTH/NOSE/EYES.

The ONLY way to become infected with this virus is if you ingest the contaminated fecal/vomit particles through your eyes,nose and mouth.

It is impossible to "breathe" in the virus BUT possible to become infected by breathing in aerosol "spray" droplets from someone vomiting right next to you.(the droplets settle within minuted but can still infect someone until cleaned with bleach)

Even if your whole family breaks out with this virus, you can prevent it by washing your hands for at least 15-20 seconds with warm water and soap.Remember that you are not killing the virus, you are washing it down the drain even if you use an antibacterial soap (which only kills bacteria, not viruses) hand sanitizers are also not successful in killing the virus.

If a member of your family comes down with the virus, let them know to wash their hands AFTER a bowel movement and vomiting.

To clean infected areas, clean with BLEACH.Clean bathrooms (all infected areas) with a bleach solution as soon as possible and be sure to prevent cross contamination and wash your hands afterwards.Especially children! wipe down all commonly touched objects like door knobs, faucet handles, light switches, toilet flushers etc.

People are STILL contagious even after 24 hours after their symptoms settle down so it is always important to wash your hands after the rest room (which you should do anyways!)

The key to staying Norwalk virus free is to keep sanitary.Wash your hands after using the bathroom...you could prevent other peoples misery as well as yours!!

Myths

It is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to get infected in any of the following ways:

1. Being “near” someone who has it, including co-workers or friends

2. Being on a plane with people who have it

3. Breathing the same air as someone who has it

4. Being in the same building as someone who has it

5. Walking past a pool of vomit on the floor, road or sidewalk

6. Through having sexual relations with an infected person

7. Through a cut in your skin

8. Through your rectum or genitalia (as in, on a toilet)

9. Kissing someone who is not yet showing symptoms (note: it may be possible to catch it from someone who has recently vomited by kissing them, as viral particles may be in their mouth from vomitus. But the virus is NOT transmitted through saliva)

10. Number 6, above, applies similarly to sharing cups or utensils with someone as well.

TIPS:Do not share any cups/plates/utensils with an infected person and be sure to wash in a bleach solution to prevent cross contamination with the rest of your family.

Good luck and stay healthy.

The only way vomit would kill you is if you choked on it. A lot of vomiting can be harmful, the acid isn't very kind to your esophagus and teeth; it's really nothing to worry about if it doesn't happen all the time. Being sick of a week or 2 isn't going to cause any lasting damage. It would be a really great idea to really brush your teeth afterwards.

Regular vomiting? That deserves an appointment to the Doctor.

Vomiting can't kill you, however, it is possible to choke on vomit so you should have someone in your house who knows how to put you in the recovery position. It's quite rare and usually happens to people who are drunk (since they're out of it anyway due to the drink).

You will be getting dehydrated though, so be sure to keep drinking clean, fresh water in small sips.

yes the mouth and esophagus are not concstructed to deal with the powerful acids in the stomach. it can cause a good bit of discomfort and if you are a singer it can damage the vocal cords although any real damage is very rare. the acid is reduced very rapidly as you continue to throw up. tmm hope you feel better soon

How did the canine be waiting to consume adequate chocolate to make it ill in the journey that your have been strolling it? And why are you on right here rather of at a vets? without verifiable affirmation that your canine unquestionably ate chocolate there is not something that anybody right here can do to assist the canine. you're asking the impossible. If I allow you to realize to make the canine barf and it relatively is not chocolate the canine ought to go through much greater harm.

if it is only occasionally then no harm should come of it although the stomach acid can burn the oesophagus with a nasty after taste and you could also get a hiatus hernia from sever vomiting

You could split your asaphogos which could kill you but this is a rare occurance but i know a bloke who this happened too but he lived.

No it cant kill you but if you vomit often, youre teeth will rot.

not kill you but will rot teeth and make you dehydrated and ill because of loss of vital vitamins and nutrients needed to keep you well.
