The family of 35-year-old Ashley Summers is raising awareness about water toxicity, which is when someone drinks water too fast. Ashley was feeling lightheaded, dizzy and dehydrated. She drank around 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes.
On Fourth of July weekend, Summers was out at Lake Freeman near Monticello with her husband and two daughters.Miller says they were were there Saturday through Tuesday. It was Tuesday evening when he got a call that something wasn't right.
"Someone said she drank four bottles of water in 20 minutes. I mean, an average water bottle is like 16 ounces, so that was 64 ounces that she drank in a span of 20 minutes. That’s half a gallon. That’s what you’re supposed to drink in a whole day," said Miller. Dr. Froberg says it's a rare occurrence, but during the summer months or if you're someone that works outside or exercises a lot, it's important to have a hydration plan.
