How bad would it be to inject seawater into your bloodstream? - Lemmy.World

I did some light research and asked AI, which said it would be extremely dangerous. But come on, it wouldn’t be that dangerous, right? We evolved from animals that lived in the ocean.

Bacteria… Does one really need to say ANYTHING else?

So... Seawater heated to 99,9°C for 10 minutes (Or to 150 °C under a high pressure), then cooled to 37°C?

Would that work? Probably still too dirty in other ways. Or?

Not necessarily - there are parasites and nasties whose spores are fairly resistant. Depending on where you got your sea water it might not be enough.
So, we need to bring the pressure up enough for the water not to boil at +800 °C. Understood!
Regardless of sterility pumping essentially salty, muddy water into your bloodstream still won’t go well.
