What is the
altitude illness?
In average, Three trekkers die per year by
altitude illness in Nepal. Nepal has diversity
in land. It means Nepal have the land of 60m
to 8848metres by the sea level because of
this diversity The person who live in the
lowerpart can be sick when he goes to the
higher part. This is called altitude illness
or mountain sickness. Many people, who want
to go trekking in Nepal with out idea of altitude
illness, they can have problems in the way
and sometimes the case will be danger. We
can help the trekkers to give advice of acute
mountain illness (AMS). Sometimes trekkers
can have problems by the smell of the flowers
also, which we can find in the Nepal Himalayas.
What we must do to remove
AMS?
We can follow the minor rules to wipe out
the mountain illness .For example - One trekker
sleep the height of 2800 meters and the other
day he go to 3200 meters .In this case he
doesn't have problem. But some trekkers who
sleep about 2000 meters highs one day and on
the other day he sleep in the height of 4500
meters .He can get the problems in respiration
and other. This is called the mountain sickness.
If some trekkers want to remove this problem
he must walk and sleep in the difference of
about 300 to 500 meters height.
Beside
this AMS trekkers can have the problems
of Allergy and Diarrhea, to wipe out their
diseases we must have careful in every meals
which we eat. The first thing is the water,
which we use. We can use by boiling water
and to put medicines that can purify water
.We must put Iodine also in water. The medicine
called Tetraglycine Hydroperiodide tablets
can be used. These are not find in Nepal
now .The Lugols solution can find in Nepal
.The first medicine which can find in tablets
is a bottle which have 50 tablets. One tablet
can purify 1 liter of water. The second
medicine can get in liquid. When we put
these drops water we must wait about 30
minutes to drink and must put 3-4 drops
of solution in one liter of water. The another
way to purify water is to use filter. This
way is more inconvenient when you are travelling.
There are some list of Medicines,
which we can, used in AMS and other normal
diseases.
