As a lifetime "blue water" sailor who, like anyone else who spends long periods on the open ocean, I occasionally get seasick. When the green water starts breaking over the bow and the trough you are in is so deep that you cant see over the top of the next wave that's ahead....it gets urpy out there. Fear and movement together are a sure cause. There is a company that sells a wristband with a little lump in it that is supposed to put pressure on an accupressure point that will alleviate nausea. Save your money. These don't work except through placebo effect. Sometimes the distraction is enough...I've heard that strong smells, (like peppermint) can have some elffect. But compared to getting compazine or another powerful antiemetic drug these are token effects. Most people, even with the full blown drugs, are not nausea free during treatment.
