Avoiding Seasickness On A Ship
By www.menhealthonline.biz
Motion sickness on a boat or ship can be a problem for anyone, given the right movement circumstances. It is simply caused by the way your ears adjust to your eyes that results in some people feeling queasy shortly after they get on a boat while others are perfectly fine. Seasickness comes about when your eyes are looking out straight, but your body is moving, causing your ears to be out of sync with your eyes. If you stand still looking at something and your body is moving back and forth, your five senses simply do not "understand" that, and the result can be some level of nausea.
The symptoms of seasickness are easy to spot. You may start to sweat a lot, have a problem focusing on certain objects, feel as if you may vomit, and have extreme dizziness. All in all, it is not a pleasant feeling, though it is not dangerous. Once you step off of the boat, you will start to feel better after a little land adjustment.
If you are prone to becoming seasick, there are preventive medications you can take and also things you can do while on the boat to minimize the symptoms. First, prior to boarding the ship, start with the medication that your doctor provided. Alternatively, you can purchase a motion sickness patch that you put behind your ear to assist. You can find these patches at your local pharmacy or even at the boarding dock
