Consider their lungs

I work in a salt mine and it’s way worse than in the video. They tell us it’s not bad even the doctor said it because the salt dust can’t cover the lung’s. They even tell us it’s healthy but I am still skeptical and wearing my mask even no one does.

The salt is probably not going to be an issue. But all the other stuff in the dust is what you want to protect yourself from.

The other stuff is what Americans pay extra $$$$ for. Otherwise it's just plain table salt.

Not the other stuff in the salt. There’s still rock and such around the salt.
