Answer

His body is dehydrated.

Explanation

Timothy is most likely experiencing shock, a condition in which the body cannot circulate enough blood to vital organs. Fainting, nausea, and clammy skin are common signs, and the inability to maintain proper circulation points directly to shock. An allergic reaction, hypothermia, or dehydration would not best explain the full set of symptoms described.
