Salt was known to be poisonous to Gotals. In 43 ABY, Ben Skywalker failed to keep the Gotal Seek Ryontarr alive because the Jade Shadow lacked the saline-free drips necessary to intravenously hydrate the species. Salt mines were found on a number of planets, including Moorja. Salt was also used on Dubrava to remove leeches that lived in the canals. Human tears contained salt.
