Why does the body want to puke after really intense exercise?

I just ran a mile as hard as I possible could. I’m on the verge of puking. Why does the body respond this way? You’d think it would want to retain fluids after intense exercise.

Your heart rate and body temperature is much higher than normal, and you’re breathing harder/not getting enough oxygen. I’m not a doctor, but my guess is that your body thinks you’ve been poisoned and the most immediate way our body expels poison is through vomiting.
