Please, no shaking the trauma victims.

... Lime juice through an IV is probably going to be extremely painful to endure, and could just kill you.

For starters: "My blood is on fire" is roughly what that would feel like, lime juice is extremely acidic.

Beyond that: It isn't sterile.

So you're literally mainlining bacterial infections.

Extremely bad idea, its such a bad idea that it would basically constitute a horrific form of torture/execution.

I'm allergic to coconut so I'm pretty sure this would feel similar to me.

I did not realize one could be allergic to coconut, but yes probably avoid that then lol!

It... probably would not 'burn' with the same intensity, as its less acidic than lime.

But... being allergic to it... and then mainlining it... seems like a bad idea that would probably also hurt.
