What would happen to your cells if you tried to drink ocean water?

Drinking ocean water would lead to dehydration of your cells due to its high salt content. The salt concentration in seawater is much higher than that of your body's cells, causing water to move out of the cells through osmosis to balance the salt levels. This process can result in cellular shrinkage and damage. Ultimately, consuming ocean water instead of fresh water can lead to serious health issues, including kidney problems and increased thirst.
