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.
Over-hydration and water intoxication happens when you drink more water than your kidneys can get rid of via urine. But the amount of water isn't the only factor. How long you take to drink the water also counts. You have a greater risk of developing water intoxication if you drink a lot of water in a short period of time. The risk is less if you drink the same amount over a much longer period of time. Symptoms of hyponatremia can occur from as little as 0.8-1 gallons (3-4 liters) of water in a short amount of time .
