O.4.5.4PreventionIn normal circumstances, the thirst mechanism should provide an adequate way to maintain proper hydration. In hot environments, especially when coupled with physical effort, the thirst mechanism may not be sufficient on its own and a regular intake of additional water is likely to be required. When large amounts of water are being lost through sweating and at the same time are being replaced by drinking water, maintaining the proper balance of electrolytes can become an issue. Care should be taken when drinking fluids that are hypertonic or hypotonic, with respect to sweating, as there can be serious consequences if levels acceptable to the body are exceeded.O.4.6Heat stroke (sun stroke)O.4.6.1Overview
