*laughs* I'm not sure if you're joking or not, Nancy, but
my mother is one of these people. She gets motion sickness very
easily, but for some bizarre reason, usually doesn't take Dramamine
for it. The smell of food--particularly strong odors in a confined
space-- runs the risk of making her hurl. There was a car trip once
that involved getting fried fish take-out, and the only available
vomit bags were those flimsy fold-over top sandwich bags, and...
Well, you can imagine the rest. ;P

As much as I love some strong-scented foods like garlic bread,
etc. I usually don't take them on a flight. No telling when you're
going to get seated near a person with a delicate stomach.
