Which item from the survival craft supply kit helps prevent seasickness?

Motion sickness happens when what you feel from the boat’s movement conflicts with what you see, triggering nausea and discomfort. Anti-seasickness pills counter this by blocking signals to the brain that cause nauseous feelings, especially when taken before symptoms start, so you’re less likely to become seasick and can stay focused on staying safe. In a survival craft supply kit, this item directly prevents seasickness, whereas water, food, and a first aid kit provide hydration, energy, and medical care but don’t stop the motion-triggered nausea. Remember to use as directed and be aware these pills can cause drowsiness.
