== == The best is slow acclimation. Go up a little at a time and get accustomed to the higher altitude over a few months. If you can't do that, take some oxygen bottles with you. == == Many people that fly or even go on cruises can get a feeling of nausea and especially when you are in the air, the odd person can even pass out. This is so simple it's ridiculous, but an old woman told me this .... put an ear plug in one ear! It works!
Some ancient Roman cures for sickness included the use of herbal remedies, such as the use of garlic and honey as antibacterial agents, and the consumption of herbal teas. Bloodletting was also commonly used to restore a balance of the body's humors. Additionally, Roman physicians sometimes prescribed a change in diet and lifestyle, promoting exercise and moderation in eating and drinking.
In 1349, there were no cures for the plague.
Some of the Egyptian cures for illness included a mixture of water, ale sediments, green dates and some other vegetables.
There were several intersting cures for the black death. Medicinal marijuana, opium plants, and crack /cocaine were very good treaments during this period.

Yes, some people are extremely affected by altitude sickness and cannot remain at their duty stations. Altitude sickness, however, does not strike all workers or scientists.
Altitude sickness is caused by changes in the distribution of oxygen and pressure. The symptoms of altitude sickness resemble those of a cold.

Altitude sickness occurs when people increase altitude too quickly. What is the cause of altitude sickness? Acute mountain sickness is caused by reduced air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes. The faster you climb to a high altitude, the more likely you will get acute mountain sickness. You are at higher risk for acute mountain sickness if: You live at or near sea level and travel to a high altitude. Oct 16, 2017
Altitude sickness can be treated with oxygen therapy
There are three major clinical syndromes that fall under the heading of altitude sickness: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE).
The lowest recorded case of serious altitude sickness (HAPE) was at 2500m in a climber in Japan. However, most people need to travel above 3000m and stay there for at least 12 hours before symptoms of altitude sickness develop.
It depends. You might get it or not. Some people are never altitude sick. Some are, when they are already on the altitude of few meters from the ground.
In a plane, the cabin is pressurized to about the equivalent of 8000 ft altitude (though you are actually flying at about 35000-40000 ft). This is at the lower end of the altitudes when one might experience altitude sickness, but since a flight lasts only a few hours and passengers usually are sitting down (and therefore not causing stress to their bodies), altitude sickness is rare and if experienced would probably not be severe enough to be recognized as altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness reduces the amount of oxygen in the brain, causing such symptoms as dizziness, shortness of breath, and mental confusion
