You can drink it, but it's not good for you. If there is a high salinity in the water it will actually draw the water out of your body to dilute the amount in your stomach.

Does Drinking water make your hair fall out?

There is no proof that drinking tap water makes you bald. It's genetics. Some women going through menopause can lose hair near the crown to their forehead. Men often have "male pattern baldness." Take a look at your family and you'll know what I mean by genetics. Drinking tap water may cause hair loss for people who suffer from zinc deficiency. Tap water may contain excess copper, from copper pipes, which prevents absorption of zinc by the small intestine. This causes deficiency of zinc, which in turn causes hair loss. People who are in vegetarian diet may face this problem more than those who eat red meat, because zinc availability from plant sources are less. A zinc supplement taken regularly could avoid this problem.

Can drinking cold water cause kidney pain?

I highly doubt that it can cause kidney pain. I'm not a doctor, but am in the medical field. To the best of my knowledge, you could experience some nausea (due to the temperature difference of your body and the water) or brain freeze if you drink it too fast. As you drink water, your body warms it up while going to the rest of your body. Blood runs through your kidneys to get filtered not the water itself. The ending results (or the expelled substance) is excess water or water that could not be reabsorbed along with other mumbo jumbo. But, I guess you could say that you can get hypothermia if you submerge your WHOLE body in water of almost freezing temperatures, which could result in acute renal failure.

Can drinking visine kill you?

Some eye drops contain only sterile saline solution, which is not harmful if ingested. However, other eye drops can be hazardous if they are consumed. Ingesting eye drops that contain tetrahydrozoline can potentially be fatal, particularly to small children. "The active ingredient in Visine eye drops is Tetrahydrozoline HCl 0.05%. Swallowing this substance can result in a number of nasty effects, including: Lowering body temperature to dangerous levels Making breathing difficult, or even halting it entirely Blurring vision Causing nausea and vomiting Elevating and then dropping blood pressure Causing seizures or tremors Sending the ingester into a coma Pfizer's cautions to users of Visine include, 'If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.' In view of the above list, that advice should not be taken lightly." Snopes Urban Legends Reference Pages http://www.snopes.com/toxins/visine.asp "A grocery chain has settled a lawsuit filed by a regular customer who said he was served a wheatgrass smoothie spiked with eye medication as a prank. Rudy Trabanino accused an employee of Whole Foods Market, an Austin-based seller of natural foods, of using a bottle of Visine to spike the smoothie. Trabanino said he became violently ill and was hospitalized for several days with acute pain and a variety of serious medical problems... William Brown, an attorney who represented Trabanino, said the poisoning could have been fatal for his client, who still suffers from headaches and other maladies." Texas News: Lawsuit over spiked smoothie settled http://www.texnews.com/texas97/spike092097.html "Visine eye drops with tetrahydrozoline is a commonly used medicine that does not have a child-resistant cap and can be deadly to small children if swallowed." Cleveland Clinic: Household Chemicals http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/health-info/docs/3300/3352.asp?index=11396&src=news "The estimated fatal dose of tetrahydrozoline for children up to 2 years of age is 5 mg intranasally (Handbook of Poisoning, 12th Edition, 1987)... Each one fluid ounce bottle of Visine Eye Drops contains approximately 15 mg of tetrahydrozoline HCl." Grand Rapids Community College: Material Safety Data Sheet http://web.grcc.cc.mi.us/Pr/msds/fordfieldhouse/NATUROPATHIC%20LABORATORIES%20INTL%20-%20Nature's%20Chemist%20Pain%20Relief%20Ointment.pdf Ingredients found in prescription eye drops can also be dangerous if ingested. Eyedrops containing cyclopentolate have been implicated in several deaths in Mexico: "Half a dozen Mexico City prostitutes have been arrested for using eye drops containing a sleep-inducing drug to knock out and rob their clients, leaving at least five men dead, it has been reported. One district in the centre of the Mexican capital has recorded 17 cases this year of men being drugged with cyclopentolate - a muscle relaxant used in eye examinations to dilate the pupil and blur vision - and then robbed... Mixing eye drops - which are not meant to be swallowed - with alcohol can create a fatal mixture for someone with heart problems, medical experts say."

It is very difficult to pin point exactly where the Nitrate supply is coming from. One way nitrates get into the water is the farmers using Fertilizers and pesticides contain high amounts of ammonia and when ammonia oxidizes it produces nitrates that get washed into streams and in underground water supplies.

Yes, you can. It doesn't contain anything that the tests are checking for.

I worked in a lab, drawing blood for these tests, and we would tell our patients that.
