“I always wondered if anyone died of seasickness before IVs.”

Yes. It was common in the Navy and Marines in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I have personally seen at least 6 men medevac’d for sea sickness. All on IV. And sedated.

Thanks for the information. I am very susceptible to motion sickness and have always wondered whether I could have survived a sea voyage during WWI or WWII.
