Greetings:

I sweat a lot and when I replace fluids in a town stop on a hot day, I can
go into some kind of electrolytic shock. My thinking is that the sweating
takes out a lot of electrolytes, along with the water and by replacing only
the water, my electrolyte level plummets.

The San Francisco Chronicle's web site carried the article found with this
link:

Peace,
