How much salt would it take to poison an adult?A tablespoon of salt weighs about 15 grams, in case you’re wondering, and between 0.75g and 3g per kilogram of body weight is the estimated lethal dose of salt. The average body weight of a healthy adult is 75kg, that means a minimum of 56g of salt or about 10 teaspoons, taken all at once, will kill you.

Salt poisoning is also about how much salt there is in your body. Your body can and will remove the excess amount of salt in the system through sweat and urine.

If you have access to fresh water, you can cope with a higher degree of salt intake, but please don’t.
