Vomit it up and poop it out unfortunately... Or don't get it unfortunately. Have to get the toxins OUT. Don't fight the vomiting. The "poison" is already in the food and needs to leave your system so truly the only thing to do is hydrate and wait it out. Gatorade type drinks, magnesium supplements for diarrhea (bc you're losing lytes) and self care.
Time, fluids, antiemetics and in some cases antibiotics
