Sometimes it can be. If my dad hadn't taken me to the hospital, I think there was a pretty good chance I might have died from the low electrolyte content in my blood.
It was first seen in elderly people who attended an American Legion convention at a hotel. It could have just as easily been called "Shriner's Disease" or "Bull Moose Disease" or something.
