If drinking HCl causes injuries then what will happen if we drink lots of salt water $(N a C l + H_{2} O \to N a O H + H C l)$ ?

Solution

Excessive salt intake destroys the kidneys, as the human kidney is not designed, to handle that large load of salt. So, that signals thirst, which makes you want to drink more seawater, continuing the cycle. Without fresh water, the internal organs start to shut down, as does the brain. When your brain gets affected, you hallucinate and lose the ability to think straight. This, of course, can lead to death.
