Lead Poisoning = Salty Food
#1
Garum is very salty. Actually given the amount of salt used in making it, it would probably be a saturated solution, meaning the no more salt can be dissolved into it. In fact I've heard many of the ancient recipes appear to use so much salt as to be completely unpalatable. Odd.

Except I've also just read that one of the symptoms of lead poisoning is a inability or decreased ability to taste salt.

Curious indeed.
