There was a female American scientist who came to Australia to study some stuff in the desert. She was really worried about getting dehydrated, as she wasn't used to the Australian climate, so she kept drinking water all day. She was so paranoid, though, that she drank way too much water and ended up over-hydrating herself to the point that she nearly died. This happened in my state a few months ago, it was in the papers.
Just thought I'd share
