Car sickness?


In 4 days we have to go to a meeting 480km away from where we live. We are driving, and my partner gets car sick, very badly.

We have tried all the 'remedys' but nothing works. I find it's better for him to just vomit.

I was wondering, because we will be very tight on time, if that if he needs to vomit should I pull over for him to vomit in the bushes or something, or he just vomit in a bucket or bag? Is there any 'helpful' way.

P.S Were not worried about the smell.

the reason people get carsick is because your eyes are looking out the window and that you're supposedly "moving" but really you r sitting still. this makes people dizzy, and so does the sunlight. Sunglasses and covering the windows can help your friend. and if u r short on time, i suggest your friend just vomit in a bag. and also for prevention, don't let your friend read or stare and focus on something. also, reduce the heat. the best thing for your friend to do is just sleep.

if he does not eat some time b4 you leave it can help him get used to driving. If you can try to keep a speed of 60 mph that is a speed in which the car doesnt bounce a lot so he might not get as sick as soon. If he does get sick its better for you to pull over and let him vomit.

get the patch for motionsickness or take something to kill the anxiety like a zanex

Yep. Just keep a bucket. If you're tight on time, it's the only way! And bring some baking soda anyways, just in case the smell gets really bad. And maybe your partner can sit in the back and you can turn the music up so you don't have to hear it. Also get some gravol. Unless you've tried it. I find it knocks me right out and I sleep through the trip!
