"vomiting.
The study found that these chewable tobacco products contains bacillus licheniformis and bacillus pumilus -- bacteria species -- that could potentially cause inflammation of the lungs, as well as many other opportunistic infections.
"Some species have been identified as causative agents in spice-related outbreaks of  diarrhoea and vomiting. Additionally, they produce a mild toxin which, in large quantities could cause illness," said Steven Foley, research microbiologist at the National Centre for Toxicological Research, US Food and Drug Administration.
Several species of bacillus, as well as some stapphylococcus epidermidis and staphylococcus hominis strains can reduce nitrates to nitrites that can potentially lead to cancer, Foley added."
