Huh so I just had probably a really stupid thought, how does saline work? Is it really just the right amount of water? Because I thought water in your bloodstream(?) just killed you?
It's basically just salt water with the right balance to not shrivel or explode your cells, works pretty much like just getting the effect of drinking water but it goes immediately to your bloodstream
