Water Filter
Survival How-To
In ideal conditions a human can survival only three days without water. However, the disabling effects of dehydration on the body will begin to inhibit your ability to function much sooner. In any survival situation, water is always your first priority.
Symptoms of Mild Dehydration
Thirst, decreased urine volume, abnormally dark urine, unexplained tiredness, irritability, lack of tears when crying, headache, dry mouth, dizziness when standing due to orthostatic hypotension, and in some cases can cause insomnia.
Symptoms of Moderate Dehydration
Lethargy or extreme sleepiness, seizures, sunken fontanel (soft spot) in infants, fainting, and sunken eyes.
Symptoms of Severe Dehydration
One's heart and respiration rates begin to increase to compensate for decreased plasma volume and blood pressure, while body temperature may rise because of decreased sweating. Around 5% to 6% water loss, one may become groggy or sleepy, experience headaches or nausea, and may feel tingling in one's limbs (paresthesia). With 10% to 15% fluid loss, muscles may become spastic, skin may shrivel and wrinkle (decreased skin turgor), vision may dim, urination will be greatly reduced and may become painful, and delirium may begin. Losses greater than 15% is usually fatal.
