What exactly causes Motion Sickness?Is this-a united mischief of Physics and Biology,treatable?
In: Biology
Motion sickness appears when your center of balance control (your inner ear) and your eyes receive conflicting informations. For example, if you read in a car, your eyes don’t see that you move, but your inner ear can actually feel the car moving with you inside. Same thing for boats.
As for why you will want to vomit, there is an hypothesis : your brain could actually believe that this conflict of information happens because you are poisoned and hallucinating. So it would make you vomit to get rid of the poison. But then again, it’s an hypothesis.
It can be treated, there are drugs that you can take before a travel to avoid motion sickness, but if it’s already too late, focusing on the road ahead will rebalance the informations.
