dehydration occurs when your body is depleted of fluids. This can happen as a result of vomitting for a long while or having chronic diarrhea. It can also happen from a high fever or even over-exposure to the heat. It is very serious. The signs are little to no urine. Dark urine. Achy muscles. Tired. Feeling as though you may die. It is good to drink water and if you are feeling dry, just add a pinch of salt to the water (not so you can taste it) because your body absorbs water better with a touch of salt. For instance, if you were in the hospital, they would give you saline, which is salt water. hope it helps. drink up.

If you're in a pressurized cabin, such as a plane, you will become thirsty because the air in the cabin has nearly no moist. Sometimes, if we stay in an air-conditioned room for too long, a person could dehydrate. Although, the throat will begin to itch, a sign of thirst, but the body is normal. It's just the throat that is reacting with the cold air we are breathing in.

By not consuming more water than your body is shedidng, as in sweat, or using.
Drink more water, and you won't get dehydrated.
