#23: It’s in the Upchuck

Let’s face it. The human body can be pretty gross. However, it’s important to be aware of the less pleasant aspects of our bodies to ensure we stay healthy. That’s why this first aid tip is so important. If your throw-up looks like coffee grounds, you need to see a doctor immediately. According to the Cleveland Clinic, this type of vomit is called coffee ground emesis. 

Coffee ground throw-up indicates that you have internal bleeding in your upper gastrointestinal tract. It sounds serious because it is serious. Internal bleeding of any kind is always an emergency. Pay attention to your body. If something seems off or strange, seek medical attention.
