Question: Can all of this be summed up by saying, Drink fluids, Stay out

such as Caffine and alcohol? That is What I have Gathered from this 
entire thread.
Darius of the Bells, A herald really tired of this aurgument.

>>situation, salt water should be infused first, until the tissues are
>>re-hydrated. I was not originaly posting about someone who is at an
