| AKA |
Ecstasy is usually
taken orally both in pill and powder form. Ecstasy raises body temperature
as does dancing. If dancing energetically in a hot club, replace lost
fluids gradually by sipping 1/2 litr (1 pint) of water an hour. Remember,
over-hydration can be as dangerous as dehydration. Avoid mixing with
alcohol as it can dull the effects of Ecstasy and also cause dehydration.
Chewing gum can help to replace lost sugar and can also help with jaw
clenching. |
