RECOGNIZING DEHYDRATION IN THE OUTDOORS

Dear nurse,

Please see below for updated information. Dearnurses.com is no longer available.

Dehydration in a dry climate like the desert may go unnoticed for many hours. In humid weather, sweating is obvious. This however, is not the case in a climate with low humidity,

like the desert.

Loss of body fluids through sweating is subtle and can be ignored until symptoms such as severe headache, muscle weakness and fatigue set in.
