What would happen if every particle in my body became an ion?

I'm talking positively charged for arguments sake. I'm a GCSE student so I don't even know if that's possible, but does anyone have a clue what would happen? Would I explode or fall apart or...?

Yes, I'm very concerned. I need to be prepared for the worst :biggrin:

If every atom in your body suddenly lost an electron (we won't go into how this could happen) they'd all repel each other extremely strongly and I imagine you'd kind of vaporise, as all your ions separated and very quickly dispersed through the air.
