What is motion sickness?
Individuals with motion sickness experience dizziness, lightheadedness, and/or nausea while traveling, either by vehicle or on theme park rides. This condition occurs when the brain cannot process the information received from the eyes, ears, and body. Anyone can be affected, but it is more common in children and pregnant women.
