I often wondered about its physiopathology, but never too much as to
investigate it.
Whichever it is, I've been advised as you did too: sometimes worked
but more often it didn't. Seems to me that my own threshold is on the
higher side (as you may have observed, it varies between individuals)
- so, when I'm going to get sick, I will be and very badly so. Sailing
with my father to Buenos Aires (30 years ago, maybe), I ended almost
unconscious laying between the sails - unforgettable memories. But
this degree of sickness happened only once to me, and I sailed quite a
bit when I was 18 to 30.
Wish I had scopolamine at hand back then:
