'''Dehydration''', in the context of human health and kink, refers to a condition resulting from the excessive loss of body fluids, surpassing the amount of fluids taken in. This imbalance disrupts the normal levels of salts and sugars present in the blood, which can interfere with the way the body functions. | |||
Dehydration during scenes can occur due to various reasons, including excessive sweating, or insufficient intake of fluids. The severity of dehydration can range from mild, requiring simple measures like increased fluid intake, to severe, which may necessitate medical attention and intravenous hydration. Symptoms of dehydration include thirst, reduced urination, dark-colored urine, dry skin, fatigue, dizziness, and confusion. | |||
