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.
If the water has no odor, the likely source is the sink drain. If it does have an odor, the source could be organic matter in your drinking water. Although harmless, this material can affect the taste and smell of your drinking water even at very low concentrations. Salty taste: High levels of naturally occurring sodium, magnesium, or potassium may cause a salty taste. If you live in a coastal area, seawater may be seeping into the fresh water supply.
