How much can your stomach take?

[The Real Dark Messenger]

I am studying to be a Bachelor in Medical Laboratory Technology and at the moment I am in an internship at a Medical Center. This involves that I am under training, so I can learn taking blood samples. Every morning I go out in the different sections of the Medical Center to take blood samples from the patients.<O</O

This morning I had to take some blood from this old man. He was very sick and didn’t even bother to look at me, when I entered through the door. His body was trying to fight of an infection; he was bleeding from different places of his body and kept vomiting. I felt so sorry for him, but I had to take the blood sample. He smelled really bad and the infections on his body sent out this odour, which really made my breakfast turn in my stomach. I was nearly about to go vomit, but I kept it in and got the blood sample.<O</O

So the question is: how much can your stomach take until you have to go vomit?

I don't know. Sometimes the taste/smell of disgusting food makes me almost puke.

[Christmas]

MY STOMACH IS A BOTTOMLESS PIT.

[Owen Macwere]

Before, I never vomited by seeing such things or by smelling bad smells. Now, I be sick every few days. It depends on my condition.

[Iceglow]

It used to be that if I saw something like someone vomiting then I would too. Clubbing put paid to that saw too much.

Now I can get queasy about the smell of bacon cooking for some reason. But I actually don't get the urge to vomit often.

[xX.Silver.Wings.Xx]

I can't eat much without feeling ill. But I don't throw up though.

[Nominus Experse]

As far as I know, nothing.

I can view someone being killed in a documentary, watch a surgical operation, read or hear of someone's deathly plight, suffer pain to extrme extents, etc...

None of these have or seem capable of causing me to become sickly. Angered, saddened, yes, but never sickly.


Although, I do believe I have a minor allergy to cherry, seeing as that one food item will cause my stomach to churn and boil. So perhaps that is the only thing.

I guess I am disensitized... or something... I don't know. I am probably not the only one.

[Wish]

Hmm, absolutely nothing. I get sich just by watching something disgusting on television. But I never vomit, I just turn my head away.

[Breine]

It can take pretty much..

[Timerk]

Not much.

Like all women, I try to look as corpse-like as possible.

[Miriel]

Not a lot. Seriously. Certain smells can make me vomit so I'm pretty weaksauce.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Don't worry, Charles Darwin couldn't stomach surgery

[Rocket Edge]

I can take a great ammount, which is weird for my size & weight i guess.

[Ashi]

I don't recall anything of that sort making me vomit.

Or hmm. I think I was in primary school when a cousin fell and had a little accident. There was only a little cut on his forehead but it needed stitches. I was really scared and started throwing up later.

Nowadays though, I don't think something like that would make me vomit... but I don't actualy look for long enough to decide if it would happen or not.

[Martyr]

A horrible stench has almost done it to me before, but I've never succumbed to vomiting.

But I'm sure that if I was ever inside a septic tank, or if I was around too many fresh corpses or something, I'd almost definitely hurl.
