Answer 1

Joshua was suffering from dehydration

Step-by-step explanation:

Dehydration is a condition that occurs when the body looses great quantities of fluids (mainly water) and it exceeds the amount of what is taken in. In other words, this condition happens when the amount of water ingested is less than the one loosed. When we are dehydrated, the body lose its ability to function normally and symptoms start to show up. You start losing your body weight, your skin becomes very dry, you start feeling dizzy, you have headaches, and many other symptoms.
