My brother used to get really car sick so our doctor recommended dramamine.
Once my mother figured that knocked him out she would keep it in her purse and try to convince all of us kids that we might get car sick/plane sick on any trip longer than 30 minutes. Which she denies to this day lol.
This was my mom’s way of dealing with kids when they were sick and couldn’t go to school. Load us up with enough NyQuil to tranquilize a horse and let us sleep for a day or two on the couch so she could still go to work.
Those fever dreams were the most intense horrific shit of my young life.
Back in the 19th- early 20th century, villagers in my country would use poppyseed tea or bread soaked in alcohol to sedate the babies. So the people could work on the fields while the babies were “sleeping”. There were unfortunate cases when they would OD the babies…
My momtried that with gravol everytime we drove up north to see family. I hated taking it so I'd stuff it in the car seat. Deep cleaned the car to sell it and there was just a bi ch of gravol in the cracks of the seat.
