I only just realized that you did a Google of "I vomit" with quotation marks around the expression.  Forgive me, I'm somewhat Internet-illiterate.  Yes, there are many, but I notice that the situations are mostly hypothetical or in questions, and often in works of fiction.  I still think "he is vomiting" is much more natural and likely to occur.  But I particularly liked this Google result:

Irish dictionary online, Irish gaelic dictionary, Irish Dictionary ...
I hope that I restore; may I restore; I hope that I vomit; may I vomit;.
go n-aiseaga t�. I hope that you restore; may you restore; I hope that you vomit;
