Continuing in my anatomy series, I want to talk about being sick.

As far as I can tell being sick – as in physically sick – is the default physical response for a lot of issues your body and mind can’t work out between them.

Some examples:

• Getting off a double decker bus but being halfway down/up the stairs as it either brakes or accelerates – response: feel sick
• Having a play on a roundabout for 3 spins or so – response: feel sick
• Going for a ride in a car and not looking out the windows – response: feel sick

Can we not evolve a bit more so that we can have some better default responses? We understand why we feel sick in these situations but seem powerless to do anything about it!!
