MDMA disrupts the body’s ability to stay cool and stay hydrated. It raises body temperature and increases sweating, and in teens who are dancing or in hot venues for long periods, this can quickly lead to overheating. If fluids aren’t replenished, dehydration follows as a common and serious risk. This combination is a well-known danger with MDMA use, more characteristic than any effect on appetite or memory—those aren’t the typical risks associated with this drug.
