What makes you throw up?
Discussion
I was having this (enlightening) discussion with my kids yesterday. For me, it's the sight, sound and smell of other people's vomit! Secondly, I am a little prone to sea sickness. A few years ago, both of the above came together in an unfortunate union:
I was travelling on a ferry to Ireland, when the sea suddenly got really choppy and the boat was bobbing around like a cork at Niagara. After a few minutes I noticed a "wafting" unpleasant odour. I then realised it was the smell of other passengers being sick - which made me feel ill. I noticed people were lying down on the seats to reduce the effect of the sea sickness and I wanted to do likewise. The only problem was, all of the seats were occupied. Eventually, I saw a row of three seats which could act as a makeshift bed. I quickly lied down but after a few seconds I felt a warm and wet sensation on the side of my head. It tranpired that I'd placed my head in a pool of yellow and orange vomit. I ran to the washroom, where I washed my hair with water, while simultaneously throwing up into the basin.
From then on I decided it was probably wiser to fly to Ireland rather than sail!

People puking up can trigger me off. We once played a drinking game around a big table in a pub. All 8 of us were leathered. Somebody chucked and it triggered 3 or 4 others off too.
It was like dominos falling except with vom.
People eating bogeys does me too. Stringy ones have the quickest effect.
