4) Space Spew

Apparently you rarely get ill in space because there’s hardly anyone around to catch anything off. But if you do get the voms it’s no fun at all. Chris Hadfield describes it like so:
Throwing up is problematic, as without gravity, your vomit bounces back off the other side of the barf bag into your face. Plan ahead, bring a cloth to clean up. And tightly seal the bag – you live in the same air as the trash.
Hmmm… not so nice.
