   You couldn’t eat enough to do any harm, even though there is a tiny amount of potassium in bananas. Roughly 10,000 in 30 minutes. Which is, possibly, inhuman possible.

   This would probably be almost impossible. Even if you had 20 bananas every day it is unlikely that you would die from too much potassium.

   To die from too much potassium you would probably have to take constant overdoses of potassium supplements.

   Perhaps you can find some useful information in web searches for "potassium poisoning" and "potassium overdose".
