		AMS is the most common presentation of altitude illness and, while it can occur at altitudes as low as 1,219 to 1,829 meters (4,000 to 6,000 feet), most often occurs in abrupt ascents to over 2,743 meters (9,000 feet).
		The most important aspect of preventing severe altitude illness is to refrain from further ascent until all symptoms of altitude illness have disappeared.

	The Preskeletal Phase of Chronic Fluoride Intoxication by G. Waldbott, M.D.
		For instance, the radial nerve paralysis or the lead line on the gums which are typical of lead poisoning are preceded by numerous vague symptoms such as lack of appetite, general fatigue, gastric pains, and bowel disorders.
		In contrast to the Saginaw cases in which the illness was recognized after cessation of fluoridation in Windsor, Ontario, it was detected after fluoride was introduced into the water supply.
		In view of the widespread industrial application of fluoride and its great significance as an environmental pollutant and because of the likelihood that the illness already described affects a sizeable segment of the population, careful review of all available data on this subject is indicated.

		Mass psychogenic illness is when groups of people (such as a class in a school or workers in an office) start feeling sick at the same time even though there is no physical or environmental reason for them to be sick.
		Many outbreaks of mass psychogenic illness start with an environmental "trigger." The environmental trigger can be a bad smell, a suspicious-looking substance or something else that makes people in a group believe they have been exposed to a germ or a poison.
		The patterns of the outbreak (for example, the kinds of illnesses that are reported, the kinds of people who are affected, the way the illness spreads) might also give evidence of mass psychogenic illness.
