Answer:
Hi mate
Explanation:
Seawater is toxic to humans because your body is unable to get rid of the salt that comes from seawater. Your body's kidneys normally remove excess salt by producing urine, but the body needs freshwater to dilute the salt in your body for the kidneys to work properly.
Hope it helps....

- Because your body can't get rid of the salt in saltwater, it's poisonous to people.
- The kidneys generally eliminate excess salt from the body by making urine, but in order for the kidneys to function effectively, they require freshwater to dilute the salt in the body.
- Normally, this is not an issue since you drink water and consume food that contains water.
- Freshwater may be found in your body's tissue.
- However, if your body has too much salt, your kidneys will be unable to dilute it with freshwater, and your body would eventually die.
