Having been subject to motion sickness since I was small (or so my Mom says...) I've had to experiment with a number of remedies. Like many, the Dramamine knocks me out. I also experimented with the scopolamine patches during a dive trip, but they didn't stay on well when subjected to repeated submersion in salt water. A few years back I FINALLY found a winner — an over-the-counter med called "Bonine." One small tablet works for 24 hours and best of all, doesn't seem to induce any drowsiness in anyone I know who has tried it. I've tried the "Sea Bands" which put pressure on the "nulgien point" (sp?) in the wrist. Some of my dive buddies swear by them; however, I have found that for me, they reduce the urge-to-purge only slightly. I've also heard about the powdered ginger solution, but the Bonine works so well for me that I haven't been tempted to try anything else. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
