swim in it all day

If you submerged your body in table salt in a swimming pool for an entire day, would you come out dehydrated and start to turn cured like beef jerky?

The only time I taste the human flesh is when I nervously bite my cheek so it starts to have fibroma which I try to gnaw off. Nah, tastes more like clam

If it’s anything like pool salt, probably not. I have a neighbor who uses pool salt, and I feel like I come out less shriveled (in my fingers of course 😏) than if it were chlorine water.

You are taking about water with salt. The question about submerging in a pool full of just salt.
