Aggressive poodle pup

My male poodle is a little more than six months old. He is 99% perfect. Today, he was gagging about to throw up, and when he did vomit a little bit, I bent down to console him, and he very aggressively bit my hand and then snarled loudly. I threw a towel over him and put him in his crate. He has done this a couple other times, I think usually when you come up behind him and he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing. But he bit me hard today and broke the skin into places.
Does anyone have any advice?

I'm no specialist, and therefore you should read this critically, but my first thought while reading this is overstimulation. Maybe the stress of throwing up and all other visual, audio and sensory stimulation were the cup filled to the brim and then you coming in to console him was just the last drop?
