More Serious Skin Problems. The main feature distinguishing chronic hives from more serious skin disorders is whether the welts are filled with fluid. If the red bumps are itchy, inflamed, and filled with fluid, the condition is most likely hives. If theyâre hard and filled with other material besides fluid, and if after a skin test the lesions have a brownish color, thereâs most likely an underlying problem.
In the case of salty taste, taste-active ingredients are salts of sodium, potassium and lithium. The most common of these is, of course, table salt, or sodium chloride. When the salt dissolves into the saliva, it separates into positive and negative ions. Only the positive ions (sodium, potassium or lithium) have an impact on salty taste.
Surprisingly, some foods that donât taste salty can still be high in sodium, so donât use taste as a guide. For example, some foods that are high in sodium taste salty â like pickles or soy sauce. But there are also many foods â like cereals and pastries â that contain sodium but donât taste salty.ouâve probably heard that most Americans eat too much salt. Salt contains sodium and too much sodium can raise blood pressure â which can have serious health consequences if not treated. Despite what many people think, use of the salt shaker is not the main cause of too much sodium in your diet.
