Which item is NOT listed as an effect of flying on the body?

• A. Motion sickness
• B. Headache
• C. DVT
• D. Ear pressure pain

Answer: (B)

Flying affects the body mainly through pressure changes, dehydration and immobility, which safety materials typically highlight as common effects. Motion sickness happens when the inner ear’s sense of movement conflicts with what the eyes see during flight. Ear pressure pain comes from the rapid changes in cabin pressure that pressurize the middle ear. Deep vein thrombosis can occur from sitting still for long periods, especially with dehydration. Headache can happen sometimes due to fatigue or dehydration, but it isn’t usually listed as a standard effect in the safety materials. So, the item not listed as an effect is Headache.
