Teen collapses after 4 straight days of hardcore gaming

Tyler Rigsby landed in a Columbus, Ohio, hospital after four straight days of warfare. But, alarmingly, Tyler’s only 15, and the warfare was virtual. After the marathon session of Modern Warfare 3 interrupted only by trips to the bathroom and for snack food,  the teenager collapsed three times from what medical officials say was dehydration. Tyler's mom says her son was very pale and his lips were blue when he emerged from his bedroom, which makes sense as medical authorities say dehydration can lower blood pressure and reduce oxygen to the brain. Tyler's mom has confiscated his Xbox, but says both she and her son learned a lesson the hard way. [Source]
