a mention of consuming too much water can cause lung dysfunction where enough water leaks backwards into the lungs faster than it can evaporate into your breath, resulting in drowning. The word "lung" doesn't appear anywhere in the article and it's a magor organ that absolutely does malfunction in over hydration scenarios. ~2025-32123-25 (talk) 17:39, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Feel free to make the suggested addition to the article, provided it is backed by one or more reliable secondary source. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 15:12, 30 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
