Wouldn't people who claim glutamate (MSG) allergies immediately die, since it's also a neurotransmitter? (lemmy.ml)

Since the "S" in MSG is salt, yeah, they would all die. I might be wrong, but, I'm pretty I read a paper years ago that said an allergy to salt was impossible. It's one of those base elements that don't seem that important until it is. It would be the same as allergic to hydrogen.

The S is sodium, which is a component of salt.
