QUESTION

Hi there,

just wondered if you could give me a bit of advice on seasickness medication that will a) not get me arrested in Egypt (Sharm) and b) not get me bent.

Cheers!

ANSWER

Easy that. In a town where you can buy every bootleg variation of Viagra going, there’s not a lot they are going pull you in for. Start with ginger, works for me. Then go up through the non-sedating over the counter meds. If that fails you can buy stemetil without a scrip there.
