Suman Seth, associate professor in the Department of Science and Technology Studies, explains seasoning sickness in this podcast on Inside Higher Ed. 

As Seth explains, pprior to the 1840s people used seasoning sickness as a way to explain why people became very ill when travelling large distances and why they never got that sick again. 

Seth works on the social, cultural, and intellectual history of science and medicine, and his interests include the history of medicine, race, and colonialism.
