Why isn't my sweat salty? is that bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: Not everyone has sweat that tastes salty; how "salty" sweat is depends on your hydration status, how much you're sweating, and how quickly it's evaporating. Chances are your sweat is fine, so long as you don't have any symptoms to suggest other serious illness.
