what happens if you spill salt?

I researched this for you and this is what I found, I hope it helps you.\n\nSuperstitions about salt date back to biblical times when salt was a highly prized commodity. It was expensive, crucial in preserving food, and was often used in lieu of currency. So spilling salt was considered an almost sacrilegious offence, and left one perilously exposed to the devil's machinations. \nThrowing salt over your shoulder is akin to blessing someone after they've sneezed -- it's a way of keeping the devil at bay while you're in an especially vulnerable moment. Depending on your interpretation, the salt is either intended to blind the devil so he can't witness your error, or keep him from sneaking up on you while you're cleaning up your mess. \nIt's important to note that the superstition calls for the offender to throw salt over the left shoulder. As one web site notes, many ancient traditions place the devil to the left of the straight and narrow path. The classic image of a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other often shows the sinister imp sitting on the left side. \nAnd if you want to really follow the letter of the law, you're encouraged to throw the salt with your "good," or right hand. Throughout history, the association of right with good and left with bad caused a number of perfectly respectable left-handed people to be burned at the stake.

I would say probably not, but check with your doctor. The spill might have other adverse effects on your health.

Having too high a salt intake can be detrimental to your health (heart disease, blood pressure and more), as well as dehydrate you. But, if you drink TOO much water (like, A LOT), you can dilute the salts or minerals in your body, which is also detrimental to your health. \nIt's all about staying in balance. Luckily, our bodies usualy know how to do this even when we screw up...

Cut every bit of salt out of your diet for a week or so.  Make sure it's not just added salt, but also look for the sodium content on the labels of wahtever you're eating.

The Salt absorbs the water from you body, hence you will need water to compensate.

Pack it in salt to "cure" it first or it'll start to rot.

because of the salt content, salt tends to draw water out, hence out in the open the salt would allow the water to be evaporated much more quickly than fresh water

Yes , this is an ancient superstition.  \n\nThis superstition dates way back to when salt was a  precious thing. Hundreds of years ago you couldn't just run to the store and by a box of salt. Spilling salt was considered disrespectful and evil.\n\nThrowing salt that was spilt over your left shoulder is linked to the use of salt as medicine. If it could not be administered as medicine (because it spilled), the next best thing was to throw it into the eyes of the evil spirits that made you sick. These spirits were thought to lurk behind you over your left shoulder, waiting for an opportunity to attack you and strike you down with desease again.\n\nHow serious was it to spill salt? In The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. Judas, has the omen of an overturned salt cellar before him. This is a sign in the painting of Satan himself.

The pressure in their vessels is high already.  If you add excess salt to your diet your body tries to reach a hemostatic equilibrium by retaining water.  Eventually too much water is kept in the vessels, the pressure increases more and a vessel somewhere bursts.  The most damaging areas are in the brain (causes a stroke and increased intercranial pressure), lungs (causes pneumonia), and the heart (causes heart failure).
