    35g of salt can be a lethal dose for a human of about 70kg, so no one’s going to last too long on this diet.

      LD50 for a human of 70kg is 210g (3g salt per kg of human), so it seems rather unlikely that it will be lethal short-term (though always possible). It mostly becomes lethal when you don’t have any water that’s actually hydrating.
