Mary Asked:

Salty perspiration

When I perspire, my perspiration is extremely salty, to the point where the salt even cakes on my brow and my temples. I thought everyone was like this, but I've done my own little survey, and not one person has this going on. Is this a symptom of anything I should be concerned about?

Perspiration is comprised of salt and water (among other things).

As long as you have enough salt in your diet, it doesn't sound like something to be concerned about. But consult your doctor. Why live in fear when you can have a professional look this over.

Excessively salty perspiration can be a sign of some serious medical problems. Are you drinking enough water? At any rate, you should definetely see your health practitioner and explain the exact problem. In fact, you should go with the excess salty crusts on you to show.
