Anything new in to combat motion sickness?

I found that the inside of a Camelbak gets slimy very
quickly if left with water in it. I now store mine
on a hanger with the mouth down and with a cardboard
tube from an empty paper towel roll stuck inside to
hold it open. It dries quickly and is never slimy.

Very plausible. Replacement bladders for these 'camelback'

about $15 - I buy a new one each Spring.

I does concern me that several posters mentioned flying
while suffering from
airsickness. BTDT and I know I wasn't a great pilot
under it's effect.
Fortunately, age and experience has overcome it. I
think of you suffer from
airsickness it is a good idea to fly a 2-seater with
another pilot for a
while each spring until you re-adapt to flight.

Greetings,

I typically suffer from motion sickness early in the
season and sometimes
on longer flights if the thermals are rough.

Recently, I've begun to wonder if some pilots are
experiencing sickness
caused (or at least increased) by a contaminated water
container. My
hypothesis is the container sits around all winter,
half full of water,
and some crud grows in it. The pilot starts flying
again, drinks water
with crud in it, and gets sick (or sicker than just
motion sickness would
make him). After a few flights and several quarts
of fresh water now run
through the container, the container is relatively
clean again, and the
pilot no longer gets sick.

Plausible? Is there any evidence?
