The Unabomber reached out. Thanks, Ted, you're not nuts at all. Every generation has their own boogeyman. After September 11th, 2001 Osama Bin Laden was the most wanted and most feared man in the world, up until the raid on his compound that left him dead.
Symptoms of severe dehydration may include lethargy, inability to use the restroom or producing dark-colored urine, dizziness, confusion and chest pain. In addition to not drinking enough water, dehydration may occur due to certain medical conditions such as diabetes. Older adults and children under 6 years old may be at a higher risk of dehydration.
Dehydration from insufficient water intake and/or water loss affects a much, much higher percentage of people than water intoxication. The danger of drinking too much water is not so much about how much water you drink, but how fast you drink it, as noted in the case with the California woman. It is better to have small amounts of water frequently rather than trying to force large amounts of fluid at one time.
