Hi, this isn't a word questions but I figured we have a whole slew of brainy people so maybe one of you will know.

Is there a illness that has a craving for salt as an important symptom?

I seem to recall that there is but can't recall what it is. Hubby seems to think there isn't.

well, they say when you chew ice, you're anemic, so...

Addison's Disease comes to mind
