Altitude sickness is a dangerous condition that occurs when your cells do not get enough oxygen. The symptoms of this sickness include headache and nausea. Sometimes your body tries to help by breathing rapidly and deeply. Mountain climbers often suffer from altitude sickness when they hike at high altitudes where the amount of oxygen molecules in the air is lower. This means fewer oxygen molecules are able to get into the cells of the body by diffusion. To prevent altitude sickness, mountain climbers should move up the mountain at a slow pace. This allows the body to adjust to the lower levels of oxygen in the air. Experts recommend that climbers should stop often. In addition, mountain climbers should always bring an altimeter, a device that measures altitude, so they know exactly how high up they are at all times. They should also carry tanks of oxygen.
