No way, for multiple reasons. The many enzymes that keep our bodies operating are highly dependent on a normal pH.
We even consider a patient with a pH of less than 7.3 acidotic. Even patients on death's doorstep would be extremely unlikely to have a pH below 6, and a patient with a pH below 7 is likely in serious trouble.

No way. pH 7.0 is neutral, distilled H2O. I think blood is slightly basic with the salt content putting it in the 7.3 range. pH 1.3 is so acidic that it would eat through the body tissues and destroy everything around it. My daughter, when she was born, had a blood acidotic condition with a pH of 6.7 or something like that. They put her in intensive care and dripped bicarbonate of soda into her until her pH came back up to where it was supposed to be.

No, you'd fry yourself inside out.
The normal PH of blood is around 7..
Which is neutral.
Id imagine any Ph over 10
and under 5 would be life threatening..
also i dont think it's possible, unless you inject yourself with acid, so much so it affects the Ph level in your blood.
If your bloods Ph was 1.3, you would'nt be alive to write this!

The pH scale like the Ritcher scale for earthquakes is logrithmic not linear. In other words, a PH of 7.0 is neutral. A pH of 4.0 is 100 times more acidic, 5.0 is 10 times more acidic than 6.0. (I assumed base 10).
As mentioned, that would burn a hole in you. Your blood vessels would not be able to contain it.

i'm thinking no, considering that the normal pH levels are 7.35-7.45. A blood pH of 1.3 is kind of like injecting 2 liters of strong hydrochloric acid straight into a velin.

NO the K+ would have all left the heart cells.
