sometimes people vomit before meeting new people, sometimes before a date with someone who they don't even know. Why does it happen and how can it be treated?

Must be down to nervous system?
I think breathing could help as well as affirmations and whole lot of other things such as cognitive behavioural therapy.

Vomiting is a reflux action. Basically if you're going to vomit you're going to vomit, and there is little that can be done to stop it.
On meeting new people,like on a date, or maybe and interview where you are expected to perform. Go for the story...
People like to surround themselves with wonderful people and so they actually want you to be wonderful. The operative word is want. The story is they will see you as being wonderful, because that is what they want you to be. They want to project their wonderfulness onto you. And don't neglect the common things like looking your best, being pleased to see them, greeting them confidently, they won't know you are quivering like a jelly inside, they will just think you are marvellous same as you think of them
If a person is being sick on anticipating meeting new people then their own projection mechanism is out of kilter and probably need expert assistance.

i have an irrational fear of meeting new people, and talking to strangers on the phone, i always get the feelin i'm going to look/sound stupid infront of them, i often get my self into such a state i vomit or get panic attacks.
I hope that if i keep exposing myself to my fear things will get better, if anyone else suffers from something similar i would reccomend going to see a doctor. i however, would rather try and deal with it myself. The thought of having to go through the whole, phoning for an appointment, sitting in a waiting room and then telling some stranger i am an antisocial freak does not appeal, but good luck to anyone that chooses that route, respect.

perhaps they're puke scared?
how treated? With compassion, for a start, would you agree? If you are really talking about yourself when you say 'people', one step you could consider would be to accept yourself as you are, allow yourself to vomit without judging yourself over it, be aware of what you are feeling emotionally at the mmoent when the physical desire to vomit begins to arise, make peace with the part of you that feels that emotion, be gentle not hard on the part of you that feels that way..... and then let the part of you that wants to meet this new person/date speak out loud to yourself as a motivator to go through with the adventure and comfort the part that feels scared.

Oh God, I did that!! Just before my first date with my now boyfriend of 2 years!! it was because I was soo nervous and excited and my tummy couldn't handle it!! Yoga is good for calming you down or a really good workout. If the worst comes to the worst, a stiff drink could do the trick! Whatever you, be sure to have some mints on you!! x

Body reacts up to mind's construction and wants to remove the problem as it knows, immediately.This happens to non-integrated persons.Their emotional intelligence functions independently without co-operation with other intelligences capable to solve the problem.
It doesn't need any treatment. Do you best whatever you do.Collecting experience and not repeating mistakes bring us to a higher level of the personal development.Then vomiting stops spontaneously.

This is caused by a nervous reaction and although we all suffer from nerves [ butterflies in the tum] this is an extreme reaction. A little stress keeps us sharp but it seems that this circumstance needs to be attended to by relaxation or some stress controlling techniques. Ask for professional advice.

It is part of the human auto-response and survival system when the two usual responses (fight or flight) are not available.
Butterflies in the tummy is quite usual and this is a step too far on from that and would seem to suggest an over active imagination.
Deep breathing exercises and confidence building are needed.

Nervous stomach. Some people also have diarrhea.
I don't know if it can be treated, as it's a physiological symptom, one of those things the body does, even when the person is UNAWARE of being nervous, thinks everything is fine. Seeing a therapist might help though; they might know a trick or something.

They're nervous. They are afraid they are not going to come up to scratch. I would suggest they learn breathing techniques to calm themselves. The simplest technique is to breathe in for a certain number of counts, and then breathe out for longer. But if they vomit after they have met the person, then probably it is a different problem.

It is a natural reaction for some people who are nervous, some people do it before they go on stage, then they are OK to carry on with what ever it was they were going to do, it is part of our defence mechanism. It is when the adrenalin has rushed too quickly through our body making us feel sick or dizzy.
