Kind of, yeah - the lower air pressure alters the boiling point of water to a point where it doesn't activate the tea leaves as well as at sea level.

Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a disease that causes people to have complex visual hallucinations.

This affects approx 50% of people with poor central vision. more info here

So next time you see an elderly person with hallucinations, don't automatically assume it is part of their dementia (twas a true case with a patient I saw)
