For the people travelling to high-altitude regions please understand how dangerous altitude can be.
At Shinkula Pass, around 15,000 feet, a family got stranded for hours with a 6-month-old baby who suddenly became unconscious and unresponsive. The family had no idea it was due to the lack of oxygen and the extreme altitude.
Thankfully, someone aware of altitude sickness immediately gave oxygen to the child, and within seconds the baby started crying again. A few seconds of help literally saved a life.
People travelling uphill must read and learn about altitude sickness. Low oxygen levels and AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) can be dangerous even for healthy adults imagine the risk for a 6-month-old child. Please avoid taking very small children to such extreme altitudes.
Before travelling:
• Stay properly hydrated
• Consult doctors and carry medicines like Diamox if advised
• Always carry an oxygen cylinder, no matter how confident you are
• Read about the location and ask locals before heading further uphill
This time angels came to save the child. But not every story ends the same way🙏🏻
