Vomiting
Vomiting is a status affliction caused by eating
- tripe as a non-orc non-caveman non-carnivore
- old eggs
- rotten tins
- eating a clove of garlic, while polymorphed into an undead monster
After a while, it will cause you to become confused, then stunned, and finally pass out and lose 20 points of nutrition.[1] The final act of vomiting actually cures food poisoning, though you cannot count on vomiting before you die: vomiting takes 14 turns, while food poisoning will kill you in 10 + 1d9 turns.
A few uses of a unicorn horn, casting cure sickness,[2] or a eucalyptus leaf will cure the condition (and let you keep the nutrition).
When you are nauseous, you abuse constitution once in every 5 turns.[3]
