No. The IV will be hypotonic compared to the cell cytoplasm causing the cells to explode. Because the IV doesn't have any other nutrients or constituents, it is less concentrated than the cell. The cell cytoplasm absorbs the water to try to adapt to this change, however the cell will eventually become swollen and explode.

vagabundo [1.1K]
Even if a microorganism is a part of the normal microbiota of a human being, it may cause the death of the person. For example, say E. coli, it resides in intestines and is harmful. But, if its number increases way too large, it may cause infection (Colitis) and even death. So, even the normal microflora needs to be  present in the controlled quantities, inside the body.
