Hi
For those of us who do suffer seasickness there is a non drug
alternative that I have tried with some success - my 12 year old daughter
has also used these to combat car sickness. It is a pair of wrist bands one
wears and the principle is based on acu-pressure.
They are adjustable via velcro and there is a half 'button' on the
inside that one fits between the tendons on the inside of the wrist. I
believe they are available thru chemists and are relatively cheap and
re-usable. I can't swear they will ALWAYS work or work on EVERYONE, but it's
worth a try .............. and saves that 'blocked up' feeling I have
experienced with some drugs such as Quells!

Subject: Pelagic Trip I wish I didn't
Hi All,
I went on the last seabird trip out of Southport, SEQld. It was my first
trip, and I wondered how to manage the seasickness aspect. I followed advice
and took nothing, as I don't have a history of travel sickness. I was sick,
but I still think it was good advice. You have to find out how your own body
responds.
I felt sick for a short while, then suddenly it hit me, I threw up very
neatly over the side, and immediately felt wonderful. I didn't regard the
seasickness as much of an issue. Just a bit more than blowing my nose.
The birds were great. Getting up in the middle of the night, driving for a
couple of hours, being stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean is not my
idea of fun, but it's the only way to see the birds.
Cheers,
Jill
