Big snowstorm in my city today. I was standing at the street corner when a fast car zoomed by

[applegrove]

and it threw tons of salt filled slush onto me. Some got in my mouth. Question: is road salt poisonous?

1. It's probably not poisonous...

But it certainly isn't clean.

I hope you spit it out.

Back up next time!

2. "I hope you spit it out."

I'm sorry, but that cracked me the hell up. You sound like my big sister, who still thinks she's my mother!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Well, I'm probably old enough to be your mother, lol!

I have grandchildren!

[Wait Wut]

5. I'm 47...

and WANT grandchildren!!! Now you killed my happy and reminded me that my son is ungrateful.

8. I"m so sorry, my dear Wait Wut...

6. There are some additives to road salt

besides chloride salt, ferrocyanides as an anti-caking agent, but they're only trace amounts. You'd have to ingest a boatload to make that a factor, and the salt would probably kill you first.
