What Happens If You Inject Yourself With Water?

I'm pretty sure it will hydrate you almost immediately.

I think (but I'm not too sure here, don't know where I'm pulling this out of) that medical personnel DO inject people with water all the time, except they call it Saline and the water is mixed with a little bit of electrolytes.

If you get too dehydrated, they can put you on a saline drip that slowly brings you back to the proper hydration levels.

 

you die

 

meh i dont think so exactly. if you injected enough youd die but its what people use to mix with shit that they shoot up

 

I was just kidding.

 

its just not a good idea bro

 

What Alpha said...injected into the veins....if you just inject it under the skin, you'll just give yourself a water blister

 

This is what I just learned:

If you inject yourself with water, nothing will happen. It will be as if you instantly hydrated yourself. Its best to match the electolyte level of the water you are injecting with the electrolyte concentrations found in normal blood. This is done all the time to people who are suspected of being dehydrated.

EDIT: Also, there is such think as water intoxication, where your internal organs actually drown from inside your body.

 

I wonder if any endurance athlete has tried this haha.

 

ist that how they keep people hydrated in the hospital if their in a coma or something?

 

That all depends on how many units you inject....wouldn't be permanent under the skin because water evaporates

Sounds like a dare or something? I wouldn't do it if I was you....but if you do decide to do it, at least make sure it's a clean unused syringe

 

No the water blister will most likely not hurt. It will eventually pop and just leave some broken skin. It might cause pain depending how deep in the tissue you inject the water.

Also there are little to no dangers in inject water into your blood stream. When people loose upwards to 40% of their blood, (about 2 liters) about a liter of it can be replaced with salt water to keep the person person conscious.

 

there would be no side effects from water injected, its called a saline drip. now if you have an air bubble in the syringe and you shoot that in, then you DIE form an air emboli. i am deathly afraid of needles, but IMHO WHY? its just not worth it, not much risk, but really?

 

So, you're obviously doing a bet, a dare, tricking somebody into thinking that you're injecting something else, or you're an idiot? Which one OP?

 

you get higher than a mofucka

 

You'll be fine, it's done all the time. Anyone who's used an IV has done it to some extent.Guess what? I'm still alive.
The water would just bypass the digestive system and go straight into your bloodstream, instant hydration. You'd have a hell of a time injecting yourself with enough water to ause any damage

 

No, you'd need a lot of water.

Exactly.
