(#15) Avoiding Ocean Spray By Staying Inside Can Make You Seasick
If you're on a ship and you sometimes get seasick, but you're feeling pretty good right now, you might think you are out of the woods. Besides, that salt spray is murder on your hair, and it's noisy, so you decide to go inside. Whatever you do, do not go inside! Not seeing the horizon, not getting fresh air, and being surrounded by potential body odor are all ways to trigger seasickness. Just count your blessings and stay on deck. -
(#2) It Can Make You Vomit So Much That You Get Dehydrated
There are no real serious health complications from a bout of seasickness, except for one. When you vomit, you remove fluids from your body, and that can dehydrate you, especially if you can't keep anything down. Enough dehydration can cause fainting and low blood pressure, both of which can make your trip even more miserable. So it's always a good idea to see the ship's medic when you start throwing up. -
(#17) Lack of Sleep and Heavy Drinking Will Make Seasickness Worse
So, basically, if you're a writer, you're SOL. Kidding, kidding. Some risk factors for super bad seasickness include imbibing alcohol, not getting enough sleep the night before, not eating enough (keeping an empty stomach won't stop you from vomiting, sorry), and even smoking. So, if you're prone to seasickness, it's best to be a healthy human before you even set foot on that boat. You can have a martini after everything is over, as a reward for your courage. -
(#7) Some People Say Drinking Sea Water Will Stop the Nausea
First of all, these people are absolutely wrong and should stop talking. Drinking sea water is a terrible idea and you should never ever do it for any reason. Secondly, this is a very old remedy. Way back in the great seafaring explorer times, drinking a cup of bilge water or sea water was a suggested cure for seasickness. Those guys had pretty short lifespans anyway, so it's probably not a good idea for us today. -
(#14) Getting Your Sea Legs Doesn't Always Help
Most people take a day or two to acclimate themselves to the rolling motion of the sea, and after that the symptoms of seasickness eventually go away. However, that's not true 100% of the time. For some people, even as they get their "sea legs," they still have nausea and vomiting at times. Around 5% of people find the symptoms chronic, no matter how long they sail for. -
(#9) Pregnant Women Are More Likely to Vomit at Sea
Women and children are the most common victims of seasickness, but one type of woman in particular gets hit hardest by seasickness: pregnant women. That's right, if you're planning to go on a cruise and you're carrying a baby, you should also be carrying a barf bag. It also doesn't help that some seasickness meds are specifically not to be taken while pregnant.
