Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth.

If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
