![]() I don't know about that one... :) The one thing you wouldn't want to introduce is more acid to upset a stomach. I'd have to have some definitive evidence before I tried it. I used to fish with my doctor who had been in the Navy and did research on air and sea sickness. One day while fishing with a tailwind the exhaust got the best of me and I decided to chum to improve our odds - only time I've ever been sick on a boat. In the midst of my chumming he insisted I drive the boat which was not tops on my priority list at the moment. Once I was driving the boat he dug around in the ice chest and handed me a dill pickle. I thought he'd lost his mind but decided to follow doctors orders and the relief was immediate. He said in their studies they found dill pickles to be one of the best available quick relief remedies. I've always carried them since for passengers and they've always worked. Another interesting item from his studies was that most often, motion sickness was caused by fear - usually deep seated sub conscious. Even though pilots loved to fly there was often a fear of crashing in the back of their minds which triggered air sickness for example. Don't know if those studies held up over time (this was 30 years ago) but it sure explains those who start tossing their cookies as soon as they lose sight of land. Give the pickles a try if you or a passenger ever needs them - you might be surprised. |
