drink sea water!

The uss indianapolis is a ship that wrecked on a secret mission in the
pacific. The cruiser was returning from mission to deliver atomic bomb
components when it was sunk by a Japanese submarine torpedoed. The
ensuing loss of life is the largest at sea in U.S. Navy history. Ship sank in
12 minutes with 1,196 men on board, approximately 300 went down with
the ship. The remainder, about 900 men, were left floating in
shark-infested waters with no lifeboats and most with no food or water.
The ship was never missed, and by the time the survivors were spotted
by accident four days later only 316 men were still alive.
Salt Water Dehydration
Sea water has 33-37 grams of salt per liter while a human weighing 50kg
or 110 lb contains around 40 tps or 168g of salt if you drink a liter of
seawater you will consume around 7.9-8.8 grams of salt. A human can
consume 3.7 liters of water on a normal day and about 5 on a hot day.
After four days in the hot sun a human body will have needed to consume
20 liters of water, tho if consuming 20 liters of saltwater you will have also
consumed 700 grams of salt that is 4.2 times the amount of salt a human
has in there whole body.
Dehydration
❏ Salt pulls the water out of the cells.
❏ The consumption of too much salt will cause your cells to lose most
all the water in them.
❏ With the human body being mostly water the loss of the water in
your cells will cause dehydration.
❏ Dehydration will kill you in a short amount of time.
❏ This is the reason most of the 900 men on the uss indianapolis died
within the four days they were floating in the sea.
