[net.suicide] Salt

siegel (01/21/83)

Don't forget that salt, added to the water in a toilet bowl, does
wonders for conduction.

Regarding salt for ionic conduction:  It doesn't take much.  You'd probably
get 10 times what you need from your skin, which is loaded with all sorts
of nice salts.  Since feet tent to perspire quite a bit, I'm sure that you
would not have to worry.  Also, if you were under any stress -- and
suicides often are -- the perspiration would be increased again.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT ENDORSING THIS IDEA!  I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO
KILL HIMSELF, OR TRY TO AND THEM CLAIM THAT I AM AN ACCESSORY.
YOU DO this ON YOUR OWN!
