Why do we vomit when we have a tummy bug? Science Short
Notes de l’épisode
A little heads-up: if you’re eating or already feeling queasy, you might want to save this episode for later!
A wobbly tummy, a dash for a bucket… and a surprisingly coordinated response inside your body! Sophie, who’s eight and from Douglas in Cork, Ireland, wants to know why tummy bugs make us vomit.
In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie investigates how your gut raises the alarm, why your brain takes charge, and which muscles do the squeezing. We also explore how tummy bugs spread, what helps when you’re sick, and why washing your hands matters.
