Okay, I do feel bad. I love that library, although am not fond of the city of Charlotte.

http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/stomach/vomiting.h tml There is also considerable variability among species in the propensity for vomition. Rats reportedly do not vomit. Cattle and horses vomit rarely - this is usually an ominous sign and most frequently a result of acute gastric distension. Carnivores such as dogs and cats vomit frequently, often in response to such trivial stimuli as finding themselves on a clean carpet. Humans fall between these extremes, and interestingly, rare individuals have been identified that seem to be incapable of vomiting due to congenital abnormalities in the vomition centers of the brainstem.

I hope this doesn't make anybody feel bad, but I spent the last two days in the Carolina Room of the Robinson-Spangler Genealogical Division of the Charlotte Public Library. I could have brought a cot and spent the night! The wonders of that facility are awe-inspiring. Pat

They do make blue M & M's now. And horses actually cannot vomit. That's why it is critical when a horse gets a belly ache/colic. Don't know about rats.
