I HAVE ALWAYS LICK SALT, IT IS JUST WHAT SWCAH DO.  WHEN I EAT A STEAK IT ALWAYS LOOKS WHITE FROM THE SALT.  MOST OF THE TIME MY SODUIM IS ALWAYS LOW WHEN I HAVE A BLOOD TEST.  ALL OF MY DOCTORS SAY GO AHEAD," IF YOU WANT SALT THAT IS MY BODY TELLING ME I NEED SALT".  I BUY ROCK SALT IN THE SUMMER TIME AND USE THEM LIKE LIFESAVERS.  I LIVE IN THE HIGH DESERT OF CA, IT GETS TO BE IN THE HIGH 120’S TO THE 130’S.  WITH OUT ROCK SALT I COULD NEVER LEAVE MY HOUSE DURING THE SUMMER, JUST ROCK SALT AND WATER KEEPS ME GOING.  I HOPE THIS ANSWERED YOUR QUSTION.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
