WATER INTOXICATION, WHICH CAN LEAD TO HYPONATREMIA IS A SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH RESULTS WHEN SOMEONE DRINKS TOO MUCH WATER TOO QUICKLY. WATER INTOXICATION DOWNS THE CELLS OF THE BODY IN FRESH WATER. IF A LARGE AMOUNT OF FLUID IS CONSUMED OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THE CELLS WILL BEGIN TO SWELL BECAUSE THE KIDNEYS CANNOT PROCESS THE WATER QUICKLY ENOUGH. THE WATER STARTS TO DILUTE THE ELECTROLYTE LEVELS IN THE BODY AND IF ENOUGH WATER IS CONSUMED THE CELLS COULD ACTUALLY BURST. A LOW LEVEL OF ELECTROLYTES CAN RESULT IN AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT, BRAIN MALFUNCTION AND COULD LEAD TO SEIZURES AND DEATH. THE CONDITION IS EASILY TREATABLE IN EARLY STAGES BY INJECTING ELECTROLYTES INTO THE BODY AND LIMITING WATER CONSUMPTION UNTIL THE BODY HAS BEGUN TO PROCESS THE EXCESS. WATER INTOXICATION IS ALSO CALLED WATER POISONING, BECAUSE IT ACTS ON THE BODY LIKE A TOXIN. A PERSON USUALLY DOES NOT ENOUGH WATER TO RESULT IN WATER INTOXICATION , BUT SOMETIMES WHEN JUDGEMENT IS IMPAIRED BY HEAT STROKE, DRUG USE OR STRESS A LARGE AMOUTN OF WATER MAY BE CONSUMED TOO QUICKLY. WHEN COMBINED WITH SITUATIONS LIKE DRUGUSAGE AND HEAT IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO TELL IF WATER INTOXICATION WAS THE CAUSE, MAKING TREATMENT DIFFICULT. PLEASE WATCH YOUR WATER CONSUMPTION AND YOUR ELECTROLYTE LEVELS.\n<\/p>\n
