Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation.

When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
