It's important to stay hydrated, but how do you know if you're overdoing it? One of the first signs of water intoxication is swelling. If your fingers start to get puffy where your rings become tight, that could indicate a problem. Other symptoms of hyponatremia are nausea and dizziness. If you experience these symptoms and suspect water intoxication, stop drinking more water (that part should be obvious) and seek medical attention. Eat some food to replace the electrolytes (salts) that are being diluted by the water.

During the competition the womans belly got fairly distended so it was obvious that she had too much water in her.
And yet the fools did nothing. -_-
WELL THATS HER HER REWARD FOR PARTICIPATING IN COMPETITIONS THAT ARE DANGEROUS FOR HER. WELL ALL D SAME HARD LUCK
sly fox
as nas says
this is another example of the media deceiving making you think that this one situation applies to everyone
think with common sense.
this lady didnt die because she drunk too much water
she basically dround herself
“Drinking gallons of water without peeing”
hello people. your body will tell you when you’ve drink too much water. it’s Gods gift. not the media.
Well thats what she gets for being ignorant.
Trey your a dumb, of course she died from drinking to much water. Her osmolarity levels were messed up so unnecessary water was entering her cells and tissue causing them to lyse=DEATH. Even if she did go to the bathroom her concentration of electrolytes would still be messed up.
That woman should have stopped, but i don’t feel bad for her as much as I do for her children. I heard that she tried to win that wii for her kids, and all they got was a dead mom. So sad = (……
you all are idiots. she didnt deserve to die like that especially trying to win something for her kids. some people are not educated about things and this could be one of the things she wasn’t educated about so she maybe just didnt know what it would do to her!
she could/should have gotten a job,:BUT thats work,& dumd people like her are driving & texing while driving with her kids in vehicle,NOW THATS DUMB & CHILD ENDANGERMENT SHOULD BE ARRESTED. ALSO THE TALK IS ALL JUNK ”GOTTA TALK” FEMALE THINKING. WHAT DID YOU ALL DO BEFORE THIS TEXING WAS AVAILABLE?? DONT YOU SEE YOU ARE A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON ROADS & TO YOUR OWN FANILY ( DONT YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR KIDS? ”IF YOU REALLY DO” DONT ‘E’ OR WORSE TEXT,ONLY STUPID ‘PEOPLE’ DO IT.GET A LIFE
KI: U R THE IDIOT ANYONE KNOWS THAT ANYTHING IN EXCESS IS NOT GOOD FOR A PERSON. YES I FEEL SORRY FOR HER FAMILY. OUR BODY & BRAINS TELL US WHEN WE ARE OVERDOING ACTIVITIES(SUCH AS TEXING/EMAILING WHILE DRIVING. IF THEY HAD THEIR FAMILY WELFARE IN MIND NO ONE WOULD DRIVE & BE TEXING WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU ;;GABBING” OUR YOUR SO CALLED LOVED ONES———-H E L L O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This story is about a woman overhydrating and being ignorant of the fact that it could and did kill her. Where did women texting and driving become part of this? I see nowhere in the story where this woman died or killed someone from texting while driving. If you two insist upon being rude and disrespectful about someone’s death, at least keep your comments relevant.
Poor kids… I wonder if they got the Wii?
But even then, I agree with Ki and John. I doubt they even went through this subject in school. And anyway, whose stupid idea was it to create that contest? Haven’t they heard of the simple hot dog eating contest!
I didn’t know you could die from drinking too much water. Never heard of that before.
hi!!!! bubble gum is yummi
For the people who said “that’s what she gets” and things of that nature you’re a group of a$$holes. She made a mistake not knowing it could be fatal and you trolls feel she deserves to die because of it. That’s pathetic.
I hope she still won that Wii.
For everyone who said she deserves to die, you guys are a**holes, she was just trying to be a good mom and get her kids an xbox, she didn’t know it was unsafe, it’s not really her fault, although i do agree she shouldn’t have taken it this far
Catherine…… the “two” guys commenting about texting while driving are the same person. The caps and atrocious grammar should have set off a few signals. Get a clue… you probably drive and text all the time and got a little butt hurt over their comments. I totally agree with him! And this dumb broad drinking water for a Wii didn’t want a Wii for her kids (bullshit sob story), she just wanted 15 minutes of fame for being on some 3rd-rate radio station.
You guys are ignorant and pathetic…how could you just say she deserves to die
..no she wanted to win a wii for her kids mybe she figuredit was simple i mean who would of really thought it would of had killed her get a f***ing grip…
