Why not take a bath when traveling to Tibet, no matter how dirty it is?

Because bathing in Tibet can easily lead to colds, and for some people in poor health, once they catch a cold, it is easy to endanger their lives. Therefore, no matter how dirty you travel in Tibet, don't take a bath. In people's lives, especially in some areas where there is no water shortage, people take a bath almost every day. If they don't take a bath, they will be considered lazy and don't like clean people, so they will be rejected. But Tibet is a very different place. Don't take a bath at such a high altitude, or your life will be in danger.

As we all know, the altitude in Tibet is very high, basically reaching more than 4 thousand meters. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and the easier it is to catch a cold if you take a bath. At the same time, Tibet has less oxygen than other regions. If it is because of sweating outside and going back to the hotel to take a bath, some people in poor health are prone to catch a cold, while catching a cold in other areas is just a minor illness, and Tibet is different. If you treat a cold as a very serious disease in Tibet, because once you catch a cold, it will lead to internal organs problems, especially those with low immunity and resistance, and you should never take a bath, otherwise it will easily lead to life-threatening problems.

So it doesn't mean that you don't take a bath every day when you travel in Tibet. This is mainly because when I first entered Tibet, my body was difficult to adapt to the situation in Tibet. Moreover, Tibet is a place with a very high altitude. In this place, some people with poor health are prone to altitude sickness. At this time, a certain amount of drugs should be prepared, otherwise when altitude sickness attacks again, it will be difficult to treat the serious condition. Gradually, after traveling in Tibet for a few days, I can fully adapt to the altitude problem in Tibet, and then I can take a proper bath.

In short, when you first arrive in Tibet, don't take a bath no matter how dirty it is. This is for your safety.
