This will happen to every parent. You're partway through a long drive, or even a short one, and your kid will be carsick. If you're lucky, you'll only have to deal with the complaining. Your just as likely to be cleaning up vomit. In this episode, Ethan Millard and his guest co-host Rebecca Cressman of FM100.3 will give you everything you need to know when your kid sings out from the back seat... "why am I carsick?" Carsickness is just a type of motion sickness, and motion sickness brings nausea and eventual vomiting- to everyone. Here's why: You sense motion in two ways, you see it with your eyes and you sense it in your inner ear. If those two inputs give you conflicting information, you get carsick. For example, if you feel the motion of the car but your eyes are fixed on a stationary book, boom! Carsick. It works the other way as well. If your eyes see motion but you don't feel it, you can also feel sick. That's why you may feel motion sickness at an Imax film. The good news is, there are ways to deal with it. You can try looking out the window. Looking at something in the distance is supposed to be particularly helpful. Closing your eyes might help as it removes one of the conflicting inputs. You can also try chewing something or rolling down a window. If all else fails, get out of the car and walk around. At least you won't puke on the upholstery!
