10 Causes of H Pylori

Cause Of H Pylori #3: Contaminated Vomit
When we vomit, we empty the contents of our stomach. This is a useful and often effective defense mechanism as it helps to eject pathogens and other harmful substances from our body. As such, vomit will often contain pathogens that can cause us to become ill if we come into contact with it.
We are not likely to want to come into contact with vomit anyway, as it is quite unpleasant, but some people are likely to be more exposed to it than others. Medical personnel in particular are at risk and will need to take precautions. Wearing protective clothing such as gloves can help keep you safe from contamination.
