School week 2

Had to send Hal off with a travel pill today. Someone gave him chocci biccis Friday afternoon with unfortunate results on the way home. I don't want to have to keep doping him up for the journey so I went down to the pharmacy after he left and had a chat. They've suggested Sea Bands acupressure wrist bands. http://www.sea-band.com/UK/uk_seaband.htm I've picked a pair up but is there anyone out there got any experience of how well these work?

Mythbusters tested a similar product and found it to not work. The one thing they found that did work was ginger.

they worked extremely well for my niece.

Other option is crystalised ginger.

Anne swears by ginger biscuits (and her seasickness is legendary in fandom).

Try using a walkman/MP3 player it works for me. Admittedly not perfectly but better than travel pills.
It usually has to be a mix of vocal and instrumental, for some reason purely instrumental pieces aren't as effective.

Sea-Band makes a Ginger gum which you can find at RiteAid drugstores and on their website
