any known carriers out there who get a little extra salty sometimes, or even get a little salty frosting in your hair? this happens to my husband (carrier) often and i've started noticing it on my little one occasionally (who has also been determined to be a carrier). neither one of them have any other symptoms at all (and yes, we've had the full ambry done). i've had this happen to myself before, so i assume it is not all that unusual since we all have salty sweat, but it still weirds me out a little. it is so subtle, and you wouldn't even know it was there unless you were looking for it and it only happens in their hairline above the forehead or a little in the sideburns. do we just have weird sweat or what?

I have it. I get really salty crust on my hairline in the summer when I'm sweaty. So does my dad.

I highly doubt I have CF (I didn't have the extended panel or anything), but I do carry the class 1 mutation my daughter has. I've wondered about this very thing. I'll be interested to see how others respond.

I sure do! Sometimes when I am outside and sweating badly I get a salt crystal film over my arms and legs.

I have been tested for CF as Dr.'s originally though I had CF as well .... I am free and clear however I get very salty ... Sunning , Working out , sometimes I can smell it on my skin ..

I have not noticed it in my hair though ... around the hair line tends to have a lot more build up of salt when I am doing those activities .

Have a great day

I also do that. I have salt flakes on my skin at the hairline, mainly. I have other symptoms too but have not had genetic testing to see if I have cf or even if I am a carrrier.
