When a person consumes salt solution, it is hypertonic as compared to the solution present inside the cells of the gut. Hence, there takes place the loss of water from the cells and excessive dehydration which is dangerous. To reverse this process, the body initiates the vomiting sensation to remove the salt water from the body.
