[pct-l] electrolytes

[James Keener]

Hi Claudia and Fuzz,

I have used S-Caps as well. I am susceptible to hyponeutrima, caused  
by a very low electrolyte/liquid ratio. When I would get to town and  
drink a lot of cold water or sodas or any liquid, my electrolyte  
levels would plummet, and I had some severe reactions. Also along the  
trail. Balance is critical. At one time I took too many S-Caps, and  
could not slake my thirst, no matter how much water I drank. If you do  
use it, please experiment.

Walk well,
