The LD50 for Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in humans is 12.3g/kg. For a 100kg (220lb) adult, that equates to 1.23kg or 2.7lbs of table salt for a 50% chance of inducing death by itself.

I personally would not list it as a good CTB method.

Maybe it will be interesting. In this video described case of overdosing on soy sauce which is the same as overdosing on salt.

It's a terrible idea. Table salt just isn't lethal enough. You'd be as well trying to overdose on bananas.

Point is, just because it is theoretically possible does not mean it is especially effective. The dose makes the poison after all. Somewhere in eating all those bananas or consuming all that salt something is probably going to go wrong. Whether it's just you going out for the count then waking in a world of hurt, or just an agonisingly slow death.

honestly if you can get 80(double the lethal dose) or so grams of salt into your system then depending on your weight it has a good chance of working as long as you don't have a chance of being found before you die of course.

Tbf I do only have 5.8% body fat percentage so it could be a decently high chance of dying?

yes it would be a very good chance to be safe i would probably try for 100g's of salt but be warned that if you fail, there will be severe consequences from that much salt ingestion like paralysis

but looking at the fairly low amount of salt required I am actually considering trying out this method for myself.

The only problem would most likely be the pain but its probably more humane than a lot of methods, maybe take melatonin or sumn beforehand?

Your brain will swell, and you will die from that. It will be very fucking painful. NaCl has a LD50 for humans around 1-3g/kg you need to be well above that to ensure death. (SN LD50 dose for 80 kg human would be around 6 gram, still it's recommend to take 20-25g of it. It's not a reliable method since you will likely puke your guts out if you take that much salt, and don't forget the copious amounts of water to even dissolve it.

So let's just say you are 80 kg heavy, now you would need around 4 times as much NaCl for anything close to a reliable death (still uncertain as all hell), so around 26g/kg. So yeah good luck trying to eat 2 kg of salt. Without sufficient water, it's just a plain stupid idea. Yes you could always try to drink soy sauce, a few liter of it, still not smart.

Ah I see, although I thought it made your brain shrink? I doubt it makes much of a difference anyway, so assuming I dont throw up it would still require so much salt per KG of body weight that it isnt worth it? I mean I am on the lighter end of weight.
