    I have to admit that I absolutely love how licking sodium or chloride individually is very bad for you, but when you put them together, you can lick, eat, and even swim in it all day with minimal ill health effects.

      Sodium reacts violently in water
      Chlorine was used in mustard gas

      swim in it all day

      If you submerged your body in table salt in a swimming pool for an entire day, would you come out dehydrated and start to turn cured like beef jerky?

            The only time I taste the human flesh is when I nervously bite my cheek so it starts to have fibroma which I try to gnaw off. Nah, tastes more like clam

        If it’s anything like pool salt, probably not. I have a neighbor who uses pool salt, and I feel like I come out less shriveled (in my fingers of course 😏) than if it were chlorine water.

          You are taking about water with salt. The question about submerging in a pool full of just salt.

      If you eat salt all day its going to have some quite serious health effects. Traces of it are tasty but that is about the limit.

          Can’t wait for bionic kidneys to be an option that allow drinking sea water
