As reported by the National Institute for OccupationalSafety and Health, workers who are exposed to extreme heat or work in hot environments indoors or outdoors, or even those engaged in strenuous physical activities, may be at risk for dehydration.
The summer months are quickly approaching and we need to be prepared. When working or playing hard we’ve all at some point experienced fatigue setting in, a dry mouth, heavy legs and maybe even a headache. These all are common signs of dehydration. Of course, if you suspect excessive fluid loss, notify a physician. Intravenous or oral fluid replacement may be needed.
