I have a non-boating friend who's going on a cruise next
week. He's concerned about seasickness. I told him ginger is
a good cure. I bought him a box of Ginger Snaps ( more for a
joke ). Should he start munching on these before he steps
onboard or wait till / if he feels bad?

Are ginger snaps actually flavored with ginger, or an artificial flavoring?

We keep candied ginger on board for folks who suffer mal-de-mer. Also
Vernor's ginger ale, which is flavored with ginger, not an artificial. And,
with the current interest in sushi and sashimi, ginger slices are available
at most grocery stores, and that actually works best, according to our
seasick friends.

Soda crackers also seem to help when a person is well into being seasick.
Must absorb some stomach acid or something--I really don't know.

FWIW
