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.

Just *how* could anyone suffer from mal-de-mer on a LAKE?????

Heh, heh . . . Please accept my cordial invitation to join us and find out,
should you ever find yourself in the States.

I've never gotten seasick on the ocean, but I've gotten actively ill on
Lakes Michigan and Superior.
