SUMMARY: This content is an interview with Dr. George Lucatus from AlphaCare Urgent Care about the importance of hydration, especially during warmer months and for athletes. Dehydration is common among athletes, construction workers, and those exposed to the sun for extended periods. Athletes should drink water or electrolyte-rich beverages like Gatorade to stay adequately hydrated and prevent muscle cramps and passing out. Symptoms of dehydration include slowing down, lightheadedness, nausea, and cramping. If dehydrated, it is important to sit down, rest, and drink fluids with electrolytes. This interview was conducted by Lori Buring for New 25's expert talk.

SUMMARY: Many shrimpers from the coast are heading west this weekend as Louisiana's inshore shrimp season opened on Thursday, while Mississippi waters remain closed. Min Trong, who sells shrimp from his van in Long Beach on weekends, is preparing to open a seafood store. He notes that for the second consecutive year, shrimping conditions have been less than ideal, driving prices down. Factors like excessive freshwater and wind are affecting shrimp availability. Trong anticipates Mississippi's shrimp season to open around mid-June but felt last year's season started too early. Shrimp prices have remained low for the past two years.

Minh Troung and other shrimpers say it'll be a few weeks before conditions are right for shrimping in the Mississippi Sound.
