A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Salt doesn't do much to the human body.
Yes it does and the lethal dose is actually 0.5-1g per kg, not 10.
No, it doesn't. Wikipedia doesn't cite any credible source for that number, instead it links to a book, which doesn't cite anything.
LD50 for sodium chloride is 3g/kg. It is part of MSDS and is based on an actual scientific study.
It's time to update Wiki.
