In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Vomiting may come on suddenly, but many people experience symptoms of illness that precede the act of vomiting. Rush to a bathroom, garbage can, or a safe outdoor area if you experience any of the following:  dry heaves  the sensation that you're about to vomit abdominal pain  contraction of the stomach muscles  dizziness  other stomach ailments, such as diarrhea If you're very sick, overly intoxicated, or experiencing food poisoning, you're going to need to vomit no matter what you do. But if you're only experiencing mild nausea, there are some steps you can take to reduce or prevent the need to vomit. Try the following options to manage your nausea:  step outside and get some fresh air take deep, slow breaths through your mouth  suck on a mint candy or chew gum smell the inside of your wrist or armpit (the smell of perfume or deodorant may distract your body from the sensation of nausea) sniff something scented, like essential oil pinch your arm or tug on your hair (physical sensations can sometimes distract the body) If at all possible, try to anticipate when and where you will vomit if the need arises. The most ideal place is in a rest room (in the toilet, if possible), but obviously that may not always be feasible to get to a rest room. If you cannot get to a restroom, try to at least find a plastic bag or trash can to vomit into, as this will greatly reduce how much of a mess you make. If you're going to induce vomiting, wait until you can get to a toilet, trash can, or plastic bag. If you believe that you may vomit uncontrollably in the near future, stay close to a bathroom or keep a trash can/plastic bag on hand.

Summary:
Identify the signs of vomiting. Reduce nausea. Try to plan your location.
