Motion sickness

[Hunters Pa]

My brother gets terrible seasickness. Nothing ever worked for him until he tried this:

Not the cheapest remedy, but I saw it work. It gives a small electric pulse to the wrist. It can be used AFTER symptoms start and I even saw him share it with someone who was getting a bit green.

As a preventive make sure you get a good night's sleep before you go out, and eat something that is easy on your stomach when you get up in the morning. I like a breakfast sandwich or burrito....something that will stay with you for a while, but if greasy foods tend to bother you go with something that agrees with your constitution. My son used to never get sick, but the last couple of times he did because he stayed up late with his friends. My warning went unheeded and he ended up chumming while I was catching yellowtails....and yes, I did thank him for chumming. I caught my limit one day.

NONE of those things work for me. The only sure fire 100% guaranteed way to not get motion sickness is the Scopalamine patch. You need to get a prescription from your doctor, but I've been using them for years. With my insurance, it comes out to a few bucks a patch. I'm cheap though, so I still cut them in half. Allows me to get out on the water without ever getting sick.

One of the first things I learned was not to stare into the water for long periods of time. Look at the horizon more, the more time you spend on the water the more your body learns and adjust. Some people need to not only do that but maybe even use a patch. All I do now, is to make sure I drink plenty of BEER, 4,5 or even 6 in a 6 to 11 hour fishing trip out in LJ. That's my recipe and I'm sticking to it!

That, and a few wet, greasy cheeseburgers to settle the stomach!

Years ago, cold greasy ribs always worked for me. They are still my fav on the water lunch. A cold 7 up and saltines work too.

I keep the cvs motion sickness tabs in my tackle box. They come in a little sealed tube like chaptstick size. I take it before or right after I launch.

Scopolamine - there used to be a pill form and that worked instantly, but I think they did away with it. Used to be if you had a prescription you could still get the pill form in TJ.

I prefer the patches, but some of the over the counter meds do work. I normally don't get seasick, but breakfast burritos, and rolling seas can shake up the stomach and do a number on ya.
