01 How bad is motion sickness?

02 Why do people get motion sickness?

In fact, it is not just carsickness, seasickness, airsickness, 3D sickness... all belong to "motion sickness", also known as "motion sickness". It refers to the dizziness, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, pale complexion, cold sweats, etc. that people experience when riding in public transportation.

Although the triggers for motion sickness may be different for each person, the cause is actually a mismatch between the visual and vestibular systems.

When you sit in a moving car, your visual experience is relatively static relative to the people and objects in the car. At this time, your eyes tell your brain: you are not moving.

The vestibular system is an organ in the body that senses body movement and keeps the body balanced. When it is stimulated by movement such as acceleration, deceleration, and turning, it will tell the brain: you are moving.

Brain: It says you moved, it says you didn’t move, who should I listen to? Did you move or not? So, the brain is confused, and you are dizzy.

Some people have vertigo. For them, not only do they usually have tinnitus and paroxysmal vertigo, but riding in a car is a torture and they need to see an ENT doctor. In addition, most people actually get motion sickness occasionally, or in some cases, the motion sickness is more serious.

According to the voting results of the company group, the top three are: smell, driver, and mobile phone.
