Hey Guys,
I JUST EXPERIENCED SPONTANEOUS ACTIVATIONFOR THE FIRST TIME! :D I didn't mean to shout, I was just really excited. I picked up a book for a class and I briefly photoread it in the bookstore while I was waiting in line. A few days later, your question about dehydration appeared. I thought about it for a short time and then went about my business. That evening, I grabbed the book and it "fell open" to the exact answer for your question. To make a long story longer, here is the answer. When there is a drop in the water content in the blood, the salt concentration in the blood increases and you become thirsty. When there are high levels of salt in the blood, our cells release fluids into the bloodstream to compensate, thus raising blood pressure and creating stress. Hope this was helpful.
