  • The smell is the worst thing, after that the noise people make when they do it, it`s such a primitive thing.

  • The smell of vomit and the pitter patter noise it makes hitting the ground gets me real nauseous as well. There's probably an evolutionary reason behind it.

  • Totally normal. I had to clean up vomit at my job and almost lost my lunch. I'm like kellstar, I can handle anything else...but still working on overcoming vomit.

  • I am a nurse and I can handle pretty much everything, poop, blood, guts, wee but I can not handle vomit!! I will heave my guts up seeing it, hearing it and if I smell it I will vomit! It's normal

  • I do. Especially when my kids were babies. Both of them could do the projectile vomit and get it all over me and everywhere else. Eventually I could handle it.

  • I don't have that problem, it's pretty normal for people. My friend filled his mouth with oatmeal and got a kid to actually throw up. it was hilarious. Then he had to explain it to the kid's parent
