    Your doctor said eat a "little" (maybe a half teaspoon or less, I would bet). A handful is more than anyone should have (esp at one time) and would make just about anyone sick.

    Drink plenty of water to dilute it and it'll eventually pass. Try just using some sea salt on your food, in the future, and not having to eat plain salt.
