[QUOTE="Urban Trekker, post: 318777, member: 22821"] Your not drinking enough water!!!! You're over exerting yourself in a very hot environment. If you are a older pilgrim, 40 plus, you are even more susceptible to heat exhaustion. If its as hot there as it is here (38.7 c) you should be drinking at least 2 gallons, 7.5 liters, of water every day while you're walking. You need to hydrate before, during, and after walking and doing it often, even if your not thirsty! Thirsty means you are already dehydrated. Chapped lips mean your dehydrated. Dry itchy skin means you're dehydrated. If you pinch the skin on the back of your hand and it doesn't go right back down you're dehydrated. You should also consider walking from 0400 or 0500 to 1200 or 1300 and then stop for the day. If you are pale. cool, or clammy (sweating profusely) to the touch, and or have nausea and vomiting you are suffering from heat exhaustion and should be treated as a emergency because shock is always involved. Go into deep enough shock and you could die. Take a few days off from your Camino. Rest and hydrate. No beer, wine or spirits, no caffeine. If you have to get up at night to pee good! you're hydrating well. Buen Camino Happy Trails PS The UN developed a soluble power to treat infant dehydration deaths in Africa. I believe you can by it across the counter at pharmacies in Spain. Get it and use it! [/QUOTE]
