I know this isn't the nicest subject but our household has just gotten over gastro. Vomit smells terrible and has the ability to make a room smell really bad. I had the thought of putting some mouth wash and a bit of water into the bucket I was using and it worked surprisingly well to mask the smell. Room just smelt minty and it was a lot nicer having my head in a minty bucket than the normal smelling alternative. Of course, empty and clean the container as much as possible. If you're in a bad state and struggling to get up, or getting the toilet in time is a risk this works as an alternative.
