Thread: Altitude Sickness and Dengue Fever

How do I stop altitude sickness in Tibet

Is Dengue fever a killer

altitude sickness... take oxygen, go slowly.

+ don't forget to have plenty of water
for reasons that i think have to do with lower pressure you need to go to the loo more often, hence you need to replenish

what ever you do, DON'T RUN. you will end up hyperventilating. don't eat anything too... spicy, it might not agree with you half way up a mountain

+ if at all possible try to spend a few days at an intermediate height, say 2000-3000 metres before going to full height

yes Dengue fever kills. Take some mosquito repellent as this is how the virus spreads
