Anyone else seen these silly videos?

There's some dumb rumor on TikTok that "three tablespoons of salt can kill you" which I find pretty funny. Granted, it is true, but it's not the typical salt that's going to kill you lol.

There's also a bunch more, like sugar and polar bear liver


Curious to see if anyone can fact-check these? Because sharing genuine methods on TikTok would be amusing. or, you can just laugh along with me.

Its very true. I spent the afternoon studying it and it doesn't work the same as SN but the symptoms are very similar. Neither of them are very fun! Lethargy, head pain, vomiting, unconsciousness, seizures, coma, death. The main difference I saw was that with table salt you don't have breathing problems. And with salt, diarrhea is a problem. I haven't heard anyone mention that with SN. It primarily affects your brain and heart. Lethal dose 2-4 tablespoons. You can also do it with soy sauce which is liquid salt and very popular to CTB in Asia.

I just wish I could find information on how long it takes to go unconscious. We definitely have more information on SN.

I didn't believe it until I did some light searching. How painful would it be?

It sounds very painful. But it also sounds like what happens when you take SN. Different mechanism, but similar affect. Maybe some of the pain can be mitigated by following the same protocol they outlined here for SN, but honestly I have absolutely no idea. I just know that death is certain, as long as nobody interrupts.

Edit to add, not knowing how long it takes before you go unconscious is the problem. And it's probably dose dependent but again there are too many unknowns.

How does this work? Do you use sea salt or regular salt? I've never heard of death by table salt until reading your post. Is it really that easy? Wouldn't one start to vomit or get severe pain in your kidneys before you actually pass out? I'm so curious how effective this table salt method is. Still thinking about you GenX and hoping you find some peace in life.

I saw a medical video on YouTube a while back about a kid that ate a bunch of laxative brownies. He essentially had salt intoxication due to all the diarrhea. It sounded like it was a drawn out painful experience. Also lots is muscle spasms and pain due to the electrolyte imbalance. Yes, NaCl is deadly but it's not a quick or painless death. BTW, I think the kid survived. It's been a while since I watched it so I may have mixed up some details.
Just checked and it's a video by chubbyemu

It wont be a good death. Too much salt will cause your blood pressure to spike high. Causing intense headaches, potential stroke. It will cause your brain to swell, maybe back your lungs up with fluids. Major diarrhea and stomach cramps too. Lot of bad symptoms compared to SN, which I have personal experience with. SN causes tachycardia and a bit of lightheadedness. Nothing compared to what actual table salt OD will do to your body. It'll kill you if you choose that route, but it will be painful

What if I took loads of sedatives to knock me out before the affects began?

Polar bear liver will kill you.

– Liver is high in vitamin A. The liver of certain animals, including the polar bear, bearded seal, fish and walrus, are particularly toxic (see Liver (food) § Poisoning). It has been estimated that consumption of 500 grams (18 oz) of polar bear liver would result in a toxic dose for a human.
