A critical nutrient and a favorite flavor in human foodstuffs.   Nearly four percent of the alien seawater is dissolved salt-far higher than the concentration in human blood. Living things (even on this world) cannot survive this level of salt in their bodies.   As a result, organisms spend a great deal of energy pumping salt out of their bodies. Some fish use a third of their metabolic energy to pump salt.   A shortage of salt is equally dangerous. Hyponatremia causes hallucinations, seizure, coma and death (easily confused with other syndromes caused by exposure to this alien environment).   **Assessment:** search for salt on sandy sea bottoms and around dead coral domes.  -**Note:** pools of salt-heavy brine may occur at the sea floor. Contact with this brine may cause seizures and death. Certain bacteria (halophiles) can thrive in these environments.- -*Source: [Scan](Scan) [Salt](Salt)*+**Note:** pools of salt-heavy brine may occur at the sea floor.
