Hey guys, after studying it, I've discovered the minor differences between what happens when a guy and when a gal hurls. (MAY BE GRAPHIC, I dunno, I haven't written it yet)
DISCLAIMER: You might not find this comforting, it does face you with the terms and conditions the body passes through during a typical illness.
This might not be a necessary topic, I just felt like typing a lot, about some of my general knowledge. Then again, I've probably gone wrong in one or two places.
MALES:
Actually have a worse time. V* is a worse feeling for them. When a male v*, it is a horriffic sensation, and causes lots of heaving and retching. Often painful.
FEMALES:
Are more prone to develop emetophobia (aww poor girls, hugs all). But it won't feel as bad for them. As with females, quite a few are able to just heave, and have it done. They don't often end up gagging and hooping like males do.
The stomach in a male is different for a female. But not in a bad way, females are actually biologically stronger than males, and the immune system reacts to emetophobia seriously.Let's say poor Amyeats a piece of heavily infected mcnuggets from macdonalds, thenshe finds out it was bad causing her topanic and cry, etc, the immune system realizes ahead of time that a bacteria has entered the body. Usually, bacteriamultiply rapidly and suddenly end up taking over the system, the immune system reacts. But in this case, the brain has recognized the mistake, therefore the immune system kicks in. If it's in the first 6-12 hours, it is possible to get nothing but mild diarrhoea.
Let's say Amy has realized that she is sick in the first 6-12 hours, the stomach aciditiy increases. Of course, the brain is smarter than you think, for non-emetophobiacs, it induces vomiting, but for Amy, because she has a phobia, the immune system "sponges" and twists, forcing the stomach contents down to the intestine, where it is forced the long way through the bowel. Often, it can cause excessive urination as the acidity may carry the bacteria, this can lead to mild burning sensations during urination, or defecation.
Ever had that "hot" and "heavy" feeling in your gut? So you go to the toilet, and pass feces but the thing is, they really burn. It's because you may have eaten food with bacteria on it, even though it may be not be Salmonella or other harmless baterias, the stomach identifies it as a threat if it's not good, and the stomach acidityis raised, otherwise, it's just too much coffee and coke.
So poor poor Amy has noticed it in the first 6-12 hours, therefore the brain identifies the bad food, raises stomach acidity (may cause a bit of reflux and discomfort), she will probably be crying, panicking and shaking, feeling false n* as she feels a weird gut movement, this is the stomach pushing food down to the immune system.
Let's say unfortunately, Amy DOESN'T notice the bacteria. Well, the poor girl will be in more tears because her body will react as expected, probably violently, with the general symptoms.
BUT
Amy may not notice that she's eaten bad food, the infected piece of poultry will lay in the stomach for 20 minutes. While it is in there, if it is about a mouthful to 3 mouthfulls chewed up well, the stomach acidity is most likely to exterminate any "Salmonellae or Shigella bacteria". However, it is possible for it to go down into the bowel. Usually, the intestines do not excrete acids to kill food, therefore not eliminating the bacteria, where it can multiply.
Ok, let's take Ray, the 45 year old, smoking, beer drinking truck driver. He is 45, therefore having the fully-grown immune system. He eats a heavily shigella infected truck stop sandwich. It's so bad, the tomato on it is BLACK and crunchy. He eats away, not caring being the slob he is.
At this point, Ray doesn't care about sickness, non-emet. He will most likely get d* because sicknesses don't affect the stomach as bad when you are an adu
