I was a little disappointed they had no cure for seasickness yet, other than looking at the horizon (which works, unless the seas are so rough the horizon is rolling as well). You can control some of the symptoms (upset stomach, lethargy, and nausea) with Diet Coke. The soda calms the stomach, and the caffeine keeps you alert to fight the nausea. Crawling into the fetal position and hoping you would die also helps :)
- clort 6y agoI used to have a couple of bottles of coke and ginger biscuits for the first few days. My theory is that you need energy/stimulant and hydration. The coke is basically sugar and caffeine and liquid. The longer it is in your stomach the more you will have absorbed. I like ginger biscuits anyway and they are also very sugary. Oh, and the coke doesn't taste any different coming back up. The article started with the phrase: The worst thing about being seasick is knowing you are not going to die. but I've heard this phrased better as: At first, you are afraid you are going to die, but then, you are afraid you are not going to die.
- dbcurtis 6y agoI like those. I have also heard: "Nobody has ever died of being seasick, but many have wished they could."
