answer my health question
Posted: 08-03-05 23:51pm

I know this is an extremly strange question, but I honestly couldn't think of anywhere else to ask where i'd get the correct answer. If this is totally crazy I won't be broken hearted if it gets deleted lol.


About how long would it take for a small framed teenager to get to the point of near starvation in and arctic climate while on very little food? The merck manual says it takes 8-12 weeks for total starvation to be fatal to a healthy adult. I'm figuring a month, maybe a little more, for a teenager?


Thanks in advance for any answers/insight, and apologies again if this is so much off topic it has to be removed.
