The relationship between "speck" and "dust" is that a speck is a small particle or fragment of something, similar to how dust is made up of tiny particles. Therefore, the relationship between "pinch" and a similar concept would be that a pinch is a small amount of something, like a pinch of salt or a pinch of spice. Both pairs of words involve the idea of a small quantity or fragment.
If it is indeed just a small amount (less that a teaspoon full) you should be OK. However if you are worried or have swallowed more than this then you should take yourself to hospital.
The only difference would be the amount of salt you would use in the recipe. If the recipe calls for unsalted butter and you're using salted, just decrease the amount of salt used in the recipe by a very small amount. If it calls for salted butter and you're using unsalted, then you increase the amount of salt by a very small amount. By small amount, that would be about 10% of the amount called for in the recipe.
