    It is not edible. Eating large amounts of watermelon in a short period of time will increase the body's water content and exceed the body's physiological capacity. For those with renal insufficiency, the kidney's ability to regulate water is greatly reduced. Too much water entering the body cannot be regulated and discharged from the body, resulting in a sharp increase in blood volume and easy death due to acute heart failure.
