  1. essentially. You can absorb water through the esophagus, intravenously, subcutaneously, or via the rectal route

  2. nope. The bacteria and viruses will remain in your bowel, avoiding the acidic stomach acids that would normally kill them. This is a great way to get an infection

    What if I eat lots of fiber and push out some gargantuan logs? Does that flush out any germs?

    What about seawater?
