Signs of Dehydration and When to Worry

Knowing the signs of dehydration helps you act early on a hot Cabo trip — here is what to watch for and when it becomes serious.

Early signs

Thirst, dry mouth, dark urine, headache and tiredness are early signs of dehydration. In Cabo’s heat they can appear quickly, especially with sun and alcohol.

When it is serious

Dizziness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and very little or no urination are signs of more serious dehydration that needs prompt care.

How to rehydrate

For mild cases, water with electrolytes and rest works. For faster relief or when you cannot keep fluids down, IV rehydration delivers fluids directly.
