I have always said Spew, I went to a horse show when I was about 6 years old, right outside of Philadelphia. I was so sick, but I wanted to see those horses so much, I battled the nausea for a good hour as they raced. Once we were able to go walk around and see the horses up close I was really feeling on edge and, I swear, I projectile Spewed chicken noodles everywhere. :|
We left it there, because Horses were pooping around us left and right.
I have gotten sick at friends houses and those times I had always made it to the bathroom. I do remember one time I had a friend that did not make it to the bathroom and she was absolutely gone. So I had cleaned it up for her and even ran to my house to get spare clothes for her.
I say, If your are outside, leave it, it will take care of itself, but in the home the one who is sick usually can't do anything about it. Oh yea...and the car.
I had a friend, Amber. One of her theater friends Blew chunks in her car, ALL over the passenger door. So I offered to clean it for her because she was puking from trying to clean it herself. She offered to pay me and I said no, but I did beg her for some Tacos lol, I'll do almost anything for food.
Somethings you have to clean Right away and some places you just have to worry more for the person than the actual mess.
While on the topic, I was 11 when my sister came around, with an 11 year age gap I was old enough to help care for my younger sibling in LOTS of ways. Well I learned very quickly never to lift a baby over your head after you've fed them. I did this, Victoria laughed and giggled and I was of course laughing and giggling along with her and it hit me everywhere. Eyes, Mouth, down my shirt, my hair....and Victoria only 8 months old, continues to laugh XD
at that point I just jumped in the shower and through my clothes in the sink to quickly get the smell out of them.
I guess it always depends on the situation, all I know is if you are going to clean it, you have to do it right away. Do not let it sit. :|
