You can use kosher salt, but to treat the wound or infection better, you should use sea salt. this also gets splitters out easier and makes the process less painful.
All salt is kosher unless something is added to it that isn't kosher. Kosher salt is just a large grained salt. Use the same amount of any salt.
Most salt is kosher by default unless additives such as flavourings are added, at that point the salt would have to be certified kosher. 'Kosher salt' refers to a large grain salt that is used during the process of kashering meat. Iodized salt is kosher.
Yes, you can. Kosher salt is the same as table salt, only a larger granule.
Any serious difference exist between kosher salt and standard table salt.
It depends on the brand of kosher salt you will be using as it varies in strength. if you use Morton's Kosher salt use 2 cups to = 1 pound, or if you use Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt 3 cups to = 1 pound.

Yes. "Kosher" salt is really a misnomer. Coarse salt was used to cure and preserve certain meats, by drawing out residual blood, part of the process of "koshering" meat. So it came to be known as "kosher" salt, when if anything it should be called "koshering" salt. But because kosher salt is like lots of regular salt crystals stuck together, if the recipe calls for regular salt you need to use less kosher salt, but if the recipe calls for kosher salt you will most likely wind up needing more regular salt if you don't have kosher salt handy.
You can, but it's really little different to any sea salt - as a mineral, all salt is parve (or pareve) - meaning neutral, the kashrut laws which designate which foods are and are not kosher do not apply unless non-kosher ingredients (such as some anti-caking agents) have been added.Outside of the USA, kosher salt is more commonly known as koshering salt, a name that is more accurate since it reflects the salt's use in "koshering" meat (which is covered in salt to soak up any blood - blood is not kosher - left after shechita, the ritual slaughter carried out in strict accordance with Jewish law) so that it can be eaten by Jews rather than some presumed property of the salt.
