motion sickness and neurotoxicity

[Guest guest]

quick blurb'g...every so often I revisit my basics - haven't been to

motion sickness in quite some time (over a year, maybe two) ...I start

over, " assuming personal ignorance. " anyway, so far just hit wikipedia

- but super-argh...kinda...

snipped (This is the 4th paragraph down page)

The most common hypothesis for the cause of motion sickness is that it

functions as a defense mechanism against neurotoxins.[7] The area

postrema in the brain is responsible for inducing vomiting when

poisons are detected, and for resolving conflicts between vision and

balance. When feeling motion but not seeing it (for example, in a ship

with no windows), the inner ear transmits to the brain that it senses

motion, but the eyes tell the brain that everything is still. As a

result of the disconcordance, the brain will come to the conclusion

that one of them is hallucinating and further conclude that the

hallucination is due to poison ingestion. The brain responds by

inducing vomiting, to clear the supposed toxin.

....I am rather growling...when looked into motion sickness, everything

said babies could NOT have motion sickness - something about being

aware of time & space...and I knew my girl had motion sickness from

the get-go. Well, in hindsite - I tore apart her car seat regularly &

often, stopped car to do strip searches, and things like that, from

the time she drove home from the hospital....

Posting this tidbit here because the second thought

becomes....neurotoxicity issues (could/would/probably) feel an awful

lot like motion sickness...argh. How much does that idea bite...

wishing all the best, elizabeth
