Sea water is hypertonic compared to the body's fluids. Sodium ion is the predominant ion in salt water. Sodium and Potassium are probably the two most important ions in the body. Consuming too much sodium causes sodium and potassium concentrations to shift the wrong directions across the cell membranes in the body (electrolyte imbalance). This results in cells no longer being able to perform tasks that keep them alive. You end up dying.

eating great quantities of sea water is risky simply by fact sea water has a lot of salt meaning that the cells on your physique will know this hypertonic answer (answer with a much better concentration of debris in it) and water will diffuse out of the cells inflicting your cells to cut back which isn't sturdy.

The saltwater enter our body. Our cells are in an isotonic environment. When their is too much salt in our systhem the environment becomes hypertonic. The cells will shrivel up and die. Therefore in the bigger picture,our cells are losing all the water so will we. We become dehydrated and die.
