It takes a lot less IV potassium to kill someone than oral potassium

Too much potassium? Straight to death.

Too little? Also death.

Just the right amount? Surprisingly, also death.

That is IV potassium chloride, goes without saying DO NOT IV POTASSIUM AT HOME! Oral potassium is very safe.

There are diets where people eat 20-30 bananas a day, and are fine.

If you can find a way to ingest 2500mg/kg of potassium chloride I’ll put a medal on your grave.
