What is the human lethal dose of salt?

Answer 1

I'd say that it is roughly 5 grams of salt to the kilogram (bodyweight) for an assured lethal dose. For an average 70kg person, that's around 350g. As well as this, the person should drink next to no water in order to avoid cleaning out the salt ingested. Although, you would most likely vomit from the terrible taste of pure salt or the body rejecting the chemical. Death can occur in a minimum of 2-3 hours.

Answer 2

The normal salt intake of an adult is 6g (per day). As salt is a type of chloride which is a lethal poison in considerable amounts, I'd say over 6g. But eating over that is unlikely, unless you pour salt into your mouth! And this will usually result in vomiting.
