motion sickness tips

the number of people i've seen who do NOT know what to do when someone has motion sickness is crazy (including my own family), so I wanted to give some tips as a person who has (and still does sometimes) suffered from chronic motion sickness :)

Tip#1: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT GIVE THEM/ EAT FOOD. Instead give them some water or if you have it, lemonade or lemon juice. 

Tip#2: Give them something sour or minty, like a Tic Tac or those Vitamin c tablets. Anything that they can keep on their tongue without having to swallow works. Do not eat anything sweet, because it usually makes it worse (in my experience).

Tip#3: If your in a car or train, keep the window open. Fresh air always helps. If you can't, try fanning them with a book or paper or whatever.

Tip#4: Do NOT use your phone or read. Idk what's the logic behind it but it always makes it 20x worse...maybe it really is that darn phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tip#5: Probably the easiest. Sleep. Just go to sleep. That's it. It helps a lot.

but yeah, idk what made me do this but I just wanted to get this out there. I might be slightly insane?? if I helped someone with this I'd genuinely be shocked.
