Sea-Bands fight motion sickness
This item appears on page 17 of the June 2018 issue.
I am subject to severe motion sickness during ship and air travel. After searching for years for a substitute for Dramamine, I found Sea-Bands in a drugstore in the US. When I wear them properly and follow directions on the carton, they work very well.
As an example of how effective I’ve found Sea-Bands to be, in the fall of 2008 I was on a flight landing in the Denver airport at the tail end of a storm. The hundred-passenger plane was being thrown up and down and sideways. While wearing my Sea-Band, I was able to read my book without any stress.
The only connection I have with Sea-Band (Newport, RI; www.sea-band.com) is through my purchase.
