How To Prevent Altitude Sickness

When you climb a mountain, the air pressure will decrease, which can result in altitude sickness. First a headache will develop, which will likely worsen the longer you're exposed, but in cases can also cause death. To avoid this, walk back down the mountain and be sure to stop at intervals to allow your body to adapt to normal air pressure. Pressure and our human body's capability to adapt is amazing, but remember to take these steps to avoid altitude sickness.
