My sister and I used to eat alot of salt when we were little. We used to even pour it in our hand and lick it off.
One day while doing this in a fast food restaurant my parents told us a story about a little boy who kept salt next to his bed and licked some off his hand each night before he went to sleep.
Consequently, they told us, he died. We stopped eating so much salt after that...
