Question:
Can nausea be cured by pressing a spot on your arm?
Answer:
Sometimes mild nausea, even morning sickness, may improve by using your middle and index fingers to press firmly down on the groove between the two large tendons on the inside of your wrist that start at the base of your palm.
Special wristbands to help relieve nausea are sold over the counter at many stores.

Health officials are worried that this virus will soon infect those living in Europe and the US.
