Dehydration is a late sign of food poisoning. It will appear after significant vomiting. Dehydration due to food poisoning often means that patients need to seek prompt medical attention. The signs of dehydration include reduced urination, dark urine, dry mouth, and dizziness. In severe cases, patients may also deal with sunken eyes. Patients who are dehydrated will also be quite thirsty. Severe dehydration will often need medical treatment. However, some food poisoning patients will benefit from drinking significant amounts of fluids. Electrolyte drinks are particularly helpful to replace lost fluids and reverse dehydration.
