If a workplace makes you sick enough to self medicate on a daily basis, then you should aim to leave at the earliest opportunity to safeguard your long term health.

It was my experience that the medical profession could not correctly diagnose me. It fell onto me to discover the low level radiation sickness (LLRS), low blood oxygen levels during sleep, B12 deficiency, food intolerance, multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) deficiency, bruxism and mercury poisoning.

All high altitude workers have a right to be fully informed about the complete range of environmental toxins that they are being exposed to and the known health issues in current and past workers, including what workers have died from.

As a manager in high altitude astronomy, if you report to the upper management team that their staff appear sick and that they are displaying behavioral problems, it was my experience that they respond by notifying you that your contract will not be renewed and that you will be terminated without notice if anyone complains about you!
