The "manic" concern, Andrew, if I can speak from personal experience, may
have been from hyperthermia (i.e., walking too much without water). That
happened to me once in New York City in a December at about zero degree
temperature - I got to walking and could not stop all day and found myself
at six o'clock in a big fever sweat in a Korean restaurant trying to take
down noodle soup. Well, the story goes on. Somebody helped me figure out
(later) that it was hyperthermia - which always wants to make you go faster
and faster.
