Birdnest Collection Blackout Syndrome !!!

A very interesting comment about birdnest collecting blackout syndrome.

Before U decide to visit your birdhouse, it is advisable for U to be aware about the danger of going all by yourself. The most crucial is doing the harvesting alone.

One of the most common danger while in the birdhouse, especially while carrying out your birdnests harvesting, is a phenomena we call " Birdnest Collection Blackout Syndrome"

This is a short write up by Dr Chris:

Sometimes one fall down from the ladder not because he slip , but the unfortunate guy has 'collecting bird nest induce blackout' syndrome.

How does this happen ?

Well when a person is harvesting a nest, he will tend to angulate his head 45 degree and above to scrap the nest out of the wooden beam.

The action of constant bending of the neck would automatically reduce the blood supply to the head. As a protective mechanism to restore blood flow to the brain, you will be make to blackout - a process where u will fall to the ground, and in doing so is supposed to help with the recovery of brain blood supply .

And susceptible are those who have aged (calcified vessels) and have high blood pressure.

So once in a while while harvesting the nests, do some yoga strecthing of the neck !


Thank U Dr Chris for your advise !!!
