Dont throw up if you ingested corrosive poison or acidic chemicals, such as
bleach, gasoline, pesticides, and acid. Never try to induce vomiting after ingesting substances that can froth. Examples include soap, detergents, shampoos, and other cleaning solutions. Froth can enter your lungs when you try to throw up forcefully, causing lung injury, inflammation, swelling, and even burns. Solid or sharp objects, such as toys, coins, rings, and buttons, can injure the throat or get stuck in the airways; hence, these items should never be vomited. Gasoline, kerosene, and other flammable products, such as paint thinner, can cause tears and burns in your esophagus, mouth, and airways if you vomit. If you have ingested any of the aforementioned substances, seek medical help or contact your poison control center immediately.
You should never use vomiting as a weight-loss method.
The best method to throw up is to use your own index finger. You can also watch other people vomiting to induce the vomiting reflex. Folk remedies, such as saline water, mustard water, or bloodroot, should be avoided, as they can cause harmful side effects.
