RISKS
If you cross the desert, try to walk during hours when the heat is not so intense.
The highways and towns are very spread out, so it will take several days to find roads and you will not be able to lug food or water for such a long time; you can also get lost.
Drinking water mixed with salt will help to replace lost body fluids. Although you will feel thirstier, there is a much lower risk of dehydration if you drink salt water.
The dehydration symptoms are:
Little or no sweat at all
Dry eyes and dry mouth
Headache
Tiredness and excessive exhaustion
Difficulty to walk and to reason
Hallucinations and mirages
If you get lost, use power lines, train tracks or dirt roads as guides.
