Seasickness medicine - son's science project

[KaryCam]

Hi all!
DS has decided on a topic for his next Science Fair project and he needs your help.

What seasickness medicine is chosen most often for children at certain ages and it's effectiveness.

He is looking for data on children ages 5-15.
This is non-identifying information only.

Question #1 - what method of seasickness medicine did you choose?
Seabands
Over-the-counter medicines
Prescription medicines
No seasickness medicine was used

Question #2 - how was it's effectiveness?
No change
Helped somewhat
Took away the seasickness

To keep this information non-identifying, here are examples on how to give the answers:

10 yr old: OTC, helped somewhat
8:no meds
12:seabands, took away


Thank you all so much! We hope to get a very nice sampling and then when we go on our cruise in December, my DS can add his own data to his experiment.

update:
looking for more information from those back from their cruises.

Would love to get up to 100 pieces of data - have 71 so far.
Thanks to all those that have helped so far.

Thanks everyone!

Keep them coming. Lot's of people have read this thread but not very many posts.

For those cruising this summer, keep us in mind and report back your information.

Thanks again.
