I’m going to test my upper limits for my ability to salinate myself. What would be a warning sign of getting close to the max and needing to back off?
Kidney failure.
heart attack

Let me clearify before people start taking the piss. Too late.
I just want to start ramping up my use of salt tabs because I have severe dehydration issues and am a very heavy sweater - and was wondering what to be aware of if it was getting to be too much.
If you are a really heavy sweater start at 1 gram an hour and ramp up from there. Don’t exceed 5 grams an hour.
Perfect. This is good advice to hear. Thank you.
When I have too much salt my legs swell up after my rides. Not sure if that is totally common though.

I think that 3 mile loop has driven you mad.
Do your feet swell too? Does it occur during rides as well?

Feet probably swell too but they don’t bother me as much as my calves. Usually if I have too much salt my legs are swollen when I get off the bike, so yeah, it must happen during. I react horribly to salt intake. If I have tomato juice my hands swell up so much I can’t get rings off. I have Lame-o kidneys, what can I say…
