How, precisely, does ipecac/emetine make one vomit?
(Yes, this thread was inspired by the last ‘Family Guy’)
I believe it triggers the “poison sensors,” so to speak.
(My alternate answer would be “VIOLENTLY!”
This might help:
“Syrup of Ipecac produces emesis via a central action by stimulating the chemoreceptor trigger zone and also by acting as a local irritant.”
