== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* Awaki Musujime in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' has a trauma involving a [[Teleporter Accident]] in her childhood. As a result, her powerful teleportation abilities are offset by three seconds, and she has great difficulty in teleporting herself, becoming heavily nauseous and fatigued afterwards. Later on, to balance this out, {{spoiler|GROUP provides her with a massage device to relieve her trauma whenever she uses her abilities}}.
* In ''[[Maoyuu Maou Yuusha]]'', Hero's teleporting can cause this for people he takes along. Young Merchant fell to one knee after Hero took him all the way into the Demon World in a single unexpected jump; Big Sister Maid, when traveling with him a shorter distance and with warning, only mentioned feeling a bit dizzy.

== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==
* The psionic power of Teleportation in Classic ''[[Traveller]]''. Long range teleports caused disorientation for 20–120 seconds. Changing altitude also had negative effects: each change in altitude of 1 kilometer up or down lowered or increased body temperature by 2.5 degrees Centigrade.
* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' has this, in addition to the various [[Teleporter Accident]]s. This seems proportional to the distance, as short-ranged teleportation apparently has little to no health effects.
** In Sandy Mitchell's [[Ciaphas Cain]] novel ''The Emperor's finest'', Cain and Jurgen are teleported over what is probably a few kilometers, and Cain spends a week in sickbay to recover from the warp exposure (which [[Anti-Magic|Jurgen]] shrugs off in less than a day). It is said that the [[Space Marine]]s who own the teleporter employ shielding devices in their armor to prevent this effect. Cain and Jurgen were not expecting to teleport and had no such protection.
* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' has almost any translocation leading to short disorientation during which travelers are unable to act. The tactical effect is that setting an ambush at a likely destination to catch or slaughter arrivals in "teleport afterdaze" is a no-brainer, which gives teleporting people one more reason to [[Crystal Ball|scry on the exit]] unless they're sure this can't happen in the place they chose.
