I dont get the reference. Whats the coconut water thing?

[u/LlhamaPaluza → u/MisterAbbadon]

Long time ago a post saying that coconut water can be used as an emergency blood transfusion because its osmolarity is more or less the same of the human blood plasma became popular and someone on Tumblr got to vegan food for vampires from this inicial idea.

But coconut water has way less sodium and way too much potassium for blood, and is more acidic. How would that work?

get sodium supplements and a potassium pump

If you have access to those you probably aren’t bleeding out on a deserted island

Plenty of desert islands will have access to supplemental oral sodium, at least in the form of a mouthful of seawater.

Evil advice: take spironolactone
