The lethal dose of table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is usually estimated to be around 0.4 to 1.1 grams per kilogram (g/kg) of body weight when ingested all at once. Doses above 2.2 g/kg (1 g/lb) can be fatal.

Around 9+ tablespoons of salt consumed rapidly could be fatal for an average adult.

Lethal Dose of Table Salt (NaCl):
  • Estimated lethal range: 0.4–1.1 g/kg body weight (0.2–0.5 g/lb)
  • Typically fatal: 2.2 g/kg (~1 g/lb) if consumed rapidly
  • Fatal dose by body weight:
    • 50 kg (110 lbs): 110 g salt (7 tbsp)
    • 60 kg (132 lbs): 130 g salt (8 tbsp)
    • 70 kg (154 lbs): 150 g salt (9 tbsp)

Salt Toxicity (Hypernatremia) Symptoms:
  • Initial: extreme thirst, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache
  • Progressive: confusion, agitation, muscle spasms, seizures, high blood pressure, difficulty breathing
  • Severe/fatal: brain cell shrinkage → coma, neurological damage, death from brain swelling or organ failure
This method, is not as good as SN, is obtainable to everyone. You would probably need several doses if vomit but its possible.

This has been where I have been leading since reading about it recently. The fact that the "toxin" is cheap and readily available helps sell it for me.

There are too many unknown factors and probably you will puke before this amount of salt is absorbed. There're way too many factors that probably let this attempt fail.

Hypothermia isn't that peaceful as u might think!

Anyway, here's a guide:

This would be extraordinarily painful and it would be a very prolonged process. This should not be promoted or attempted. It would likely not work if you are young and healthy because you'd just not be able to keep consuming it after a certain point and it'd be drawn out enough that you'd be fairly likely to not be able to tolerate it.

We should not be encouraging people to suffer so severely.


One case here showed that it took 6 days for her to die. Awful.

Also I am pretty sure if you survived it could cause significant damage to the CNS and to brain functioning?

these methods get crazier by the day

I just read this on an old quora post: Can anyone weigh in on this. Is this accurate?

What happens if you inject pure water into your veins?
Get enough in and it ruptures the red cells by osmotic action. This causes the plasma potassium to rise as the K+ concentration in the cells is about 140 whereas it is around 4.5 in plasma. This can stop the heart quite quickly. If that does not happen, the haemoglobin released can by deposited in the kidneys, causing kidney shut down, which may kill you before it recovers.

At this point why not just inject KCL solution ?

I've ingested 5 tablespoons of table salt mixed in 1/4 cup of boiling water and drank it all, after 15 minutes I felt like my face was tingling but I vomited everything out and I was fine after that, so this method I think is ineffective. I did this 5 months ago.

I think this method works but need strong will to do it. I posted it more for when no other method possible or you can't use other method.

There are really so many ways to die if you know biology. The problem is the body will do anything to expel toxins. You will puke from salt, calcium etc.. overdose. There is the very very slightest chance you'll teach your goal but it's highly unlikely.

When I was considering this I was going to do something that I've not seen anyone else say... What I was going to do was stop drinking any liquids or eating for 2-3 days first, so that I would already be dehydrated. So, my body would already be high on salt and low on liquids, This would enable me to drink some cold water with all the salt ingestion and because my body would be in so much need of the water already, I was hoping this would curb the instinct to want to vomit up the salt until it was too late to do that.

But I've settled on a CO method now that should be more reliable, and I'll never know if the above plan would have worked. Also, as a hedge, I also have a couple of leftover anti-nausea pills from when I had my colonoscopy a couple of years ago so I was thinking I could also take a couple of those to curb the nausea and vomiting. I forget the actual drug prescription, but it was prescribed for me in case I had issues with the colon prep, but I only took the first pill since I didn't have any issues, thus having a couple of spare ones left.
