car sickness!

I normally stop for a coffee at a petrol station about 20kms from home, have a coffee and then decide where to go. About a month ago, I was having coffee when a Thai family sat next to me, they had two children - a boy about 6 and a girl about 4. The parents spoke reasonable English and told me their son was car sick and nothing seemed to work.

I told them what my dad did to me and what I done to my kids - a drop of Betadine antiseptic on each ear lobe and as I had some in my first aid pouch, I offered to put a drop on the lad's ears.

How do I know it works? I met the dad again today and he told me that his son is no longer car sick!!!!

Ginger is very good for motion sickness.
