Wow! That nugget of information really could save your life. I'll have to make a note of that one - brilliant. I guess it's the salt content that helps most?

Most people, even preppers probably don't have Diarolyte in the house, but WILL have sugar and salt in their cupboards.

Thanks SP!

I *still* remember having the water/salt/sugar combination as a child when I was really ill one year... tastes absolutely awful, but works wonders...I've got some diaorlyte at home, and that tastes just the same with a hint of blackcurrant... gross!!

Tastes like ditch water. Get it down them :twisted:
8:1:1 just remember that it's sweet (8) and then sour (1) and not the other way around.
