What circumstances can bring on dehydration?
Dehydration is a condition in which a person's body has lost too much water. So, any illness or activity that causes a person to lose a significant amount of fluid over a period of time can result in dehydration. Especially if the person is not rehydrating. The amount of fluid loss that causes someone to start having symptoms depends on a number of factors such as their size, age, or health & fitness status. Examples of illnesses that can cause this problem are: vomiting and diarrhea. So, a baby who has diarrhea and isn't drinking enough fluid to replace the fluid loss can get dehydration faster than an adult who has diarrhea. Other activities that can cause dehydration if the person is not rehydrating enough is anything that causes a person to sweat. Examples are: most sports, certain gym activities including steam rooms and saunas, running, biking, and jobs that are strenuous like construction and road work.
