How carsickness works
In: Biology
AFIK, this isn’t proven but its a fun and plausible explanation:
When you eat poison, sometimes your vision spins but your motion detectors in your inner ear don’t. Humans evolved the reflex to throw up when this happens in case that will help to get rid of the poison. When you’re in a car, your motion detectors go off, but your eyes tell you that the insides of the car isn’t moving. Your brain thinks this means you’re poisoned so it makes you vomit. You can help get rid of the feeling by looking out the window and seeing that you are moving so your motion detectors and eyes agree on whats happening.
