And I keep cures handy in the medicine cabinet.
That isn't really a wierd concept.
I just think it's unfortunate adults aren't trusted with this stuff.
If you haven't heard of it.. as a medic, that's pretty wierd. Tho I doubt many people would call a EMT for vomiting. Maybe that's why? But if you go to the ER (thousands of people a year end up in the ER because they can't stop vomiting due to flu and end up dangerously dehydrated because after a couple days of not being able to keep even water down...), the stuff I am talking about is what they will give you. In either pill form, or in an IV if you can't keep the pill down for the 15min or so it takes to kick in. That's how I originally found out about it.
I have 2 different kinds:
-Prochlorperazine
-Promethazine
I don't know how many different names there are for this stuff.. like most meds I assume there are different brands vs generic. etc
But it works amazingly well.

the stomach flu is probably the worst.... u will throw up if you drink a drop of water.... u 100 % need to get hooked up to an IV for that
