Question: What would happen to person if they ate 2 spoons of salt with only water to drink?
I'm asking because I was dared to do that tomorrow and I was just curious. I can eat before or after it, but I just want to know what would happen to me if I just straight up ate 2 spoons of salt.

Don't do it.

Eating a lot of salt like that (or drinking salt water, for that matter) causes a high sodium level in your body cells. This then causes the cells to absorb water to try to dilute out the salt, resulting in extreme dehydration throughout your body, even if you drink a lot of fresh water. This could then lead to cell and organ failure, which would make you very sick and could potentially be fatal.

Excessive salt intake also causes elevated blood pressure levels, which can lead to all kinds of problems, including a heart attack.



resons not to:
1) gross
2) tastes like crap
3) dehydration (diarrhea, vomiting, fever, etc.)

Why would you WANT to? Because someone dared you to?! What do you get out of doing this potentially harmful thing.

I dare you to eat a half a pound of horse manure.
