An amazing variety of situations can trigger vomiting, from a [[migraine headache]] to a [[roller coaster]] ride to a spoon down the back of the throat, (this stimulates the gag reflex). Sometimes, just seeing someone else vomit will start one vomiting. One should remember, however, that vomiting is common. Almost all children will vomit several times a year during their childhood. In most cases, it is due to a viral gastrointestinal infection or simply eating too much candy.

Nausea derives from [[Latin]] and is the plural of ''nauseum''. It has the same root as natation, the sense or act of [[swim]]ming. The singular form of the word appears in English in phrases such as: "He talked about life insurance ''and nauseum''", implying the speaker has said more than the listener wants to hear. Since nausea is already plural, it is not correct to write ''nauseas'', for the same reason it is not correct to write ''datas'', ''medias'', or ''magmas''.
