Why can't I take a bath on the first day of going to the plateau?

On the first day on the plateau, pay attention to rest and never take a bath. Bathing consumes oxygen and energy, and it is also easy to cause a cold. At the same time, any small discomfort, such as a cold and cough, is a dangerous signal from the body and cannot be paralyzed. Continue to do a lot of exercise after catching a cold, such as cycling, which will further lead to hypoxia.

If there are symptoms such as headache, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, obvious temple beating, loss of appetite, weakness of limbs, inattention, unresponsiveness and emotional irritability, you must stop and not be stiff.
