This group of people is strongly advised to avoid visiting the site unless they have previously obtained medical clearance. People who have repeatedly experienced high-altitude sickness symptoms are also strongly advised to pass a medical examination before visiting the LMT site, to prevent putting their health at risk. DAY 3 – Tour to LMT

2013 LASCCDCN 10 CONSIDERARIONS ALTITUDE AND LACK OF OXYGEN The high-altitude of Tliltepetl imposes an oxygen concentration in the air of only 60% of that at sea level. A low oxygen concentration in the blood-flow, or hypoxia, can trigger different levels of sickness in different people, and can vary over time in an individual person. While most people visiting the LMT site will experience no discomfort, some might experience mild symptoms of “altitude sickness”, which include headaches, drowsiness, nausea, shortness of breath, reasoning impairment, dry coughing, vertigo. If these symptoms persist or intensify, please notify immediately the leader of your group. At the LMT site we have first-aid equipment, oxygen and qualified staff to assist in a medical emergency. In order to avoid altitude sickness, please follow these recommendations: Walk slowly around the LMT site and avoid any strenuous movements. Eat lightly before ascending to the site, and stay well hydrated by drinking constantly small quantities of water during the visit. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages the night before. Do not smoke before and during the visit in order to enhance the oxygen concentration in your blood. Smoking is forbidden inside the LMT building. DAY 3 – Tour to LMT
