Getting Sick in Space

hello my name is Ayla I'm in grade 9 and my question for you is do astronauts ever get sick or L aboard the ISS Kayla when we first get to space we feel sick your body's really confused and so you know you're dizzy your lunch is floating around in your belly because you're floating and and your what you see doesn't match what you feel so you want to throw up so how do you throw up if you get sick in space whoo the sun's starting to come up so here's an astronaut barf bag right here so let's say you're about to throw up in space quick you get your barf bag open and now think about what happens on earth when you throw up now that'll be okay you you throw up and you have a bag of something horrible and then you throw it away but in space if I throw up in this bag what am I going to do with it this bag has to stay with me in space for months so we want a really good barf bag so we have one that that will really protect us and this one has a has a liner in it so that when you throw up into it so that when you throw up into it you can clean your face off and then you can push everything inside and then it comes with its own ziplock to clean put inside the Ziploc and then you can throw it down into the wet trash so yes astronauts do occasionally get sick in space but we have special barf bags to deal with it I'm just going to close the shutter because it gets a little bright behind me next question you
