Keeping an airsickness bag handy for sudden nausea
Tip from excedrin.com. · Read the original post
One person found that keeping a flat airsickness bag tucked into their purse or work bag prevented panic and scrambling when an attack brought on sudden vomiting. Having a dedicated bag within arm's reach helps manage unexpected nausea while commuting in a car or sitting at a desk when reaching a bathroom in time is difficult. Simple household alternatives like a sturdy sealable zip-top bag or a small disposable trash bag work similarly when stored flat in daily bags or a glove compartment.
What you'll need
You only need one of these — not all of them.
The original tip uses
Flat airsickness bag
Sealable zip-top plastic bag
Small disposable waste bag
Good to know
Frequent vomiting during attacks can prevent oral rescue medications from absorbing and may quickly lead to dehydration; consult a healthcare provider for non-oral medication options if this happens often. Seal and dispose of used bags promptly, as lingering odors can aggravate acute sensory sensitivity and worsen ongoing nausea.
