A member asked:
Shoul you make yourself vomit if you're at the bottom of your soup bowl and then see the worm?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Worm soup: There is no need to induce vomiting in this instance. If the soup had been cooked thoroughly, then the worm poses little risk. Additionally, the risk would be greater had you ingested the worm, which you didn't. More distressing would have been if you found half a worm at the bottom of the bowl!

No: One should never intentionally make oneself vomit.
