    I don’t understand this post. Salt doesn’t mean sodium. NaCl and KCl are both salts, and this is a 50/50 blend with less sodium (Na) for the people who need/want that. Am I missing something?

      you’re not missing anything, you paid attention in chemistry.

      The part you’re missing is that potassium chloride used to be used in the lethal injection. Somehow it still has a lower LD50 than sodium chloride.

        How was that alluded to in the OP? Eating it isn’t the same as injecting it. It’s a normal ingredient in electrolyte drinks and rehydration salts. It’s also prescribed for hypokalemia.

          Also yes hyperkalemia is really effective at killing as is hypernatremia. This is not only known but also evolved around. Your body works pretty hard to ensure you don’t ingest so much of either ion that you develop these conditions.

            Well, let’s hope the doctor doesn’t prescribe enough, that their hypokalemia develops into hyperkalemia.

        I would be surprised if water isn’t used in lethal injections.

      Could also be amphetamine salts.

      So much worse for people with Potasium limitations? Like dialysis patients.

        Yes, usually such people are advised by their doctors to avoid such ingredients.

        They could just get the normal salt, or no salt at all.

        Right. I have difficulty suspending disbelief so sometimes jokes like this just confuse me.
