[edit] Surprising omission.

Hello, this article totally disregards ordinary garden variety nausea from e.g. seeing disgusting things like offal, emesis, feces in contexts where one would not expect to see them.

Also disregards acupressure techniques that instantly relieve nausea, which is great for hangovers ;) There's nothing about how the stomach relates to the central nervous system. And what about ginger ale as a treatment for nausea? Many people know about it and it really works!

This page really needs expanding. At the moment, it is extremely vague and unhelpful.

This could also mean La Nausée by Sartre. Also I suggest a link or disambiguation with Motion sickness. Wikivek 16:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article makes me sick.

See above.

[edit] Cannabis

Something should be said about the medicinal use of cannabis to treat nausea.

[edit] Nausea vs Nauseated

Should there be some nod or mention to the rather pedantic argument as to the correct use of the word Nauseous and Nauseated?

I was researching them both when I found that even the Mighty Wikipedia was seemingly unaware of this controversy. --204.132.68.143 22:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to).
Use reliable sources. Plus, one's an adjective, one's a transitive verb, so there's no real controversy. WLU 02:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
