Harriett: When I was young I can remember being given salt tablets at
summertime football practice or during other times when I would be sweating a
lot to replace the salt that I was sweating out. It's not done as much now as
it is suggested to replace salt and minerals that you lose through heavy
sweating by ingesting sport drinks. The CDC says that salt tablets can still be
given but that it should be done under medical supervision. It's really not
necessary to use them now with the other possibilities available. I'll bet the
pickles were given as a source for salt replacement in the hot Florida
environment. Bob
