Vomiting or nausea is a status affliction caused by eating

After a while, it will cause you to become confused, then stunned, and finally vomit and lose 20 points of nutrition.[1] The final act of vomiting leaves you helpless for 2 turns, and 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.

If you are polymorphed into a rat, you cannot vomit, but are still helpless for 2 turns. [2]

A few uses of a unicorn horn, casting cure sickness[3][4] or a eucalyptus leaf will cure the condition (and let you keep the nutrition).

When you are nauseated, you abuse constitution once in every 5 turns (3 times in total).[5]

The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.

Per commit e9c813b6, if you vomit while standing on an altar you will experience negative effects depending on the altar alignment and your alignment record. If the altar is co-aligned and your alignment record is greater than -rn2(4), you lose one point of wisdom and one point of alignment record; otherwise, you lose 0-2 points of Luck, if your Luck is greater than -5.
