CHICAGO - Good news for anyone who has ever had that queasy feeling the morning after tying one on: A study has found that an extract of prickly pear cactus can prevent a severe hangover.


Prickly pear cactus extract is available at some health-supplement stores. It has been used in sunburn ointments and as a diet supplement, supposedly to reduce blood sugar levels.


The study found that when taken hours before drinking, the extract can alleviate symptoms such as dry mouth and that nauseated, can't-stand-the-sight-of-food feeling.


It does not appear to ease other symptoms, such as headaches and dizziness.
