Did you bother to glance at the article I linked?

Dr. Ben Honigman, professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, said 25 to 30 percent of visitors heading to the mountains get acute mountain sickness. The risk is lower for trips to Denver, where only 8 to 10 percent visitors get the ailment.

So only about 1 in 10 visitors to mile-high destinations like Denver suffer from altitude sickness, while the number only rises to around 3 in 10 at higher Colorado elevations.
Sounds like you are the unusual one, so let’s not give people false concerns.
