DS wasn't salty to begin with -- and his sweat test was a 32; however, later on, when he was 5-6 months old, I'd kiss his forehead and he'd taste salty. Teeny tiny babies usually don't sweat much. Now that he's older, in the summer time he'll sometimes come home from preschool with salt crystals around his hairline. He's my little salty boy <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I dont taste salty as a rule. It seems to happen mostly when I am out in the sun & sweating. Even during my fevers this hospital admission I didnt feel salty.

When I taste salty I can feel it. God forbid I rub my eyes. It burns like hell & if I wipe the sweat off my forehead it hurts like hell because the crystals are giving me a facial.

I always ask my hubby if I am salty & he says not overly yet my sweat test at 7 was sky high. Maybe my body has changed or maybe it depends on what I eat/drink.

Either way its not an every day thing for me.

sorry, but I'm a part-time salt-lick for my bird!
That's also why I was popular with the horses when I was younger and visited my friends farm!
Though I think the "ease" of sweat has to do with genetics, it seems overall that the guys will sweat heavier than the girls. Also, I think with the right balance of electrolites and water, the salty taste may not be so obvious...but anyone's free to correct my theory.
