It's only work comp if something about the job caused you to vomit.

Why did you vomit? If the cause of it was due to a work related issue, i.e., toxic fumes released on the job site, then yes--it is a worker's comp claim. But, if you ate a bad sandwich at lunch and got yourself sick, you will have a cause of action against the place who sold you the bad food, but likely no worker's compensation claim.
I hope this helps-
