Swallowing a large amount of water quickly, similar to what might happen in drowning, can lead to water intoxication or dilution of electrolytes in the body, which can be dangerous. This can cause symptoms like confusion, headache, nausea, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. Additionally, if water enters the lungs, it can lead to aspiration pneumonia or other respiratory issues. If someone is in distress after swallowing a lot of water, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Can you drown yourself from drinking too much water a day?

What chemical agent causes dry land drowning?

Dry land drowning, also known as delayed drowning, occurs when a person inhales water into their lungs, causing respiratory distress even after they have left the water. This can be caused by the presence of irritants or toxins in the water, such as chemicals like chlorine or other pollutants, which can lead to inflammation in the lungs and difficulty breathing.
