Anything in excessive amounts is going to be bad for you.
That even includes our good friend Water.
I knew of an older guy, a very nice fellow with mild mental issues who loved drinking water all day long. We counselors were supposed to closely monitor his intake.
During a weekend overnight shift, a new staff fell sleep.
This client spent hours in the house kitchen drinking water.
The Real Problem: All that water diluted his levels of salt.
The Result: This elderly client passed away later that morning.
A clear case of DHMO poisoning
Hyponatremia.
It’s happened to basic trainees, and a mom trying to win a PS3, or XBox, for her kids on a radio show.
