me and the boss were testing a theory that if you spin around in one direction, then spin in the opposite direction one turn, it stops you from being dizzy. It worked a little, but made my face go or tingly.
What silly things have you got up to at work today?

It's to do with the fluid in your ears (perilymph I think) and how it swooshes around, it's what can cause you to lose your balance. So if you equalise the pressure by spinning back the other way, then you should just get a build up of pressure which would cause the face tingles.
