Welcome, JC! I have been vomit free for 43 years. I have probably gotten norovirus in that time but I have not vomited from it. You can be careful about handwashing and use tricks and anti-emetics to keep from vomiting with various illnesses.

I use Pepto-Bismol when I'm feeling unwell and I keep Gravol (Dramamine) suppositories on hand for when things get really bad. Pepto-Bismol is powerful enough at suppressing the vomiting center in the brain that it can counteract a small dose of syrup of ipecac. Dramamine prevents ordinary vomiting too and is not only for motion sickness. I only take Pepto-Bismol a few times a year and I've only ever used a Gravol suppository twice.
