Another question on nausea:
Cool dry "fresh" air relieves feelings of nausea.
Hot wet air (like in a shower-room) makes it far worse. Why?
Why does having a stuffy nose, or holding your nose closed exacerbate pre-existing feelings of nausea? Is this related to the humidity effect?
What's going on physically or phsyiologically?
Is there some evolutionary explanation too?
Thanks,
Andrew
