Histamine and seasickness

Abstract

Seasickness, also known as motion sickness or kinetosis, occurs on land, at sea, and in space travel. It is usually triggered by vehicles of motion or transportation, such as carousels, cars, buses, trains (tilting trains), ships, planes, or space travel. Mild seasickness on the backseat of a car or a bus is a well-known phenomenon. The fact that many astronauts became space sick, such as the first Russian astronaut Gagarin, and the fact that an American space mission nearly ended in a crash landing because of space sickness are less known.
