Since our stomach acid is so strong, why does vomiting not scar our throat and mouth?
In: 7
It can.
People with bulimia suffer these side affects, and even their teeth begin to dissolve because of the repeated exposure to acid.
Also, “strong” when talking about acid just means it can dissolve almost anything. It doesn’t necessarily mean the acid can dissolve things *quickly*.
Well, it does cause damage to your throat and mouth (especially teeth), but it takes more time and exposure for that to happen. So throwing up once from a bad potato salad isn’t going to do too much to you, but people who force themselves to vomit on a regular basis end up doing damage to these parts of their bodies.
