Is it a good or bad idea to bathe in salt?

Question

I know its random but I just want to know what would happen lol thanks guys

Answer 1

salt water is a superconducter of electricity, so keep anything electrical away from it.  

Answer 2

is water involved? Because if it is, then it's like being in the ocean..

If not... it could hurt... or sounds like it would hurt. I wouldn't know. Have fun!

Answer 3

Probably nothing. People go in the ocean or in salted lakes all the time with no ill effects. In fact, some people claim that ultra-salty lakes, such as the Dead Sea, have health benefits. Though I'm sure that has more to do with the general atmosphere there and less with the salt.

Answer 4

It depends on what type of salt and what the purpose is. Many people bathe in epsom salts to reduce swelling....... Be careful doing this... make sure that the water level doesn't reach your heart. That fluid (blood), needs to stay right where it is.

Your body fluid is mostly water but to maintain homeostasis in the cells there is .09% salt in our body. If the salt level in our body increases beyond this amount outside the cells within the interstitial fluid the cells will crenate(shrivel up and die) and if there is too much salt inside the cell it will draw too much water in the cells and they will explode.  

Answer 5

I don't think it would do any harm .

Answer 6

It will dry out your skin. but other then that nope

Answer 7

Salt is fine to bathe in.  I do it all the time.  Salt is a natural healant and will help heal minor abrasions, or skin irritations, or wounds.  

Epsom salts are good, and my mother told me to soak in it all the time.  All I can say is, "Doowit"

Answer 8

Well it depends on what salt type you're asking about.  There is table salt and bathing salt you know.  I say bathing salt is good 4 u and table salt no so good.

Answer 9

You'll dry out your skin and also get in any cuts you have.  It's going to hurt like FU(KING HE11.  If you were thinking about it, don't do it.
