It is clear that our bodies are wasting away even at base camp. Immune systems are weak and many of us catch bugs, however minor.

I have collected my share and the latest one was this morning. 90 mn into the climb up the Khumbu icefall on the second rotation, I was seized by nausea and had to turn around. Spent the day sleeping on antibiotics to clear my stomach and hope to leave tomorrow morning again…. 🙁
