I've been reading the book Wildlife Wars by Terry Grosz. In one story,
he mentions that he easily becomes seasick, and someone recommended
eating a strong dose of 'hot' chilli before going on the water. It
actually worked up to a point. It did a very good job of preventing
seasickness, but, unfortunately, the chilli was contanimated with
salmonella and he paid the price with a bad case of diaherra later. The
cook and restaurant also paid a price later when he returned. Anyway, he
never revealed if he tried again and if it was truly successful. Anyone
know?

I'd suggest a strong dose of hot CHILE -- as in whole, crushed or
ground dried chiles taken straight, sprinkled generously on food or
made into some sort of "chile tea" -- might prove benificial to avoid
seasickness. I'm not sure about CHILI, as in the spicy stew made with
chopped and/or ground meat and chiles. At least the dried chiles
should avoid the salmonella thing. Whatever works I guess...
