Motion sickness can occur when what you are seeing is not what is felt. Your inner ear tells your brain that your body is moving and yet your eyes are saying that you are stationary. It is believed that the symptoms of motion sickness are part of your body’s defense mechanism. When your brain receives conflicting messages, it believes it is hallucinating possibly due to poisoning. Your brains’ response is to tell your vomit center to go to work and get rid of any toxins.
