Inflight nausea/vomiting of crew members

[Nrempt at aol.com]

 Try to always have some food in your stomach and stay well hydrated. Air/ 
motion
sickness seems to worsen with an empty stomach. And carry some type of snack 
with you, as well as water. Bonine ( meclazine ) is very effective, and I'm 
told that the "benadryl-type" stupor will subside in time. ( with regular use). 
The ginger candy idea
is also good. Ginger has an antinausea-emetic effect ..... and you can NEVER 
have too much sugar. I used to give one of my dogs ginger snaps for car 
sickness which worked well. I don't know about the wrist bands, they don't seem to 
work around here.......And of course, if your nausea doesn't get any better, 
maybe you should re-think your choice of careers, because at some point it may 
be a safety concern.(vomit on the instrument panel is not good, nor an unclear 
mind.)
Besides there are other venues in EMS.
In the words of Clint Eastwood, " A man's( or woman's) got to know his(her) 
limitations."

For what it's worth.
