How can I make myself throw up?
Have you tried watching Miley Cyrus twerking? That did it for me.
I need something more reliable.
Getting pregnant usually does the trick, at least for a few months.
I actually want to throw up.
Ipecac syrup was commonly used years ago. It used to be kept as a way to make a child
throw up if they ingested poison.
Where can I get it?
It isn’t sold in the U.S. anymore. If you think you’ve eaten something poisonous,
call Poison Control.
I’ve heard that raw egg white can make you throw up.
It takes hours for the salmonella to take effect, and you shouldn’t rely on a case
of the runs to solve a suspected poisoning.
I’ve heard of milk of magnesia being used for poisoning.
It is a laxative, not an emetic.
Do they sell any emetic medications?
We now know that making someone throw up is rarely of medical benefit, and doing it at
home risks worse consequences than medical treatment.
I’d like to know how.
Assuming you don’t have an eating disorder, then I can say that the simplest solution
is learning how to trigger the gagging reflex.
That’s when you stick your finger down your throat.
And that exposes your teeth to all of your digestive acids. Dentists can tell who has
an eating disorder by the wear and tear on the teeth.
I thought they could tell from the skeletal frame. What do you think of mustard?
I like honey mustard more than I like spicy mustard.
I heard you could use warm water and mustard to make an emetic.
It might taste bad enough to make you sick, or it is simply spicy enough to clear your
sinuses. Look, if you think you need to throw up on command, you need to see a doctor or
Poison Control.
