It depends on the body size (mass) of the person eating the salt. Crudley put, an adult can eat more salt than a baby before suffering any harm. As an example, the NaCl LD50 dose is 3000 mg / kg body mass. This is the amount determined of salt per kiolgram that will kill half of the test subjects, a standard way of measuring toxicity.
For a 45kg (100 lb) the mass is multiplied by the LD50 dose to give the amount that will meet the toxicity threshold. The mass of NaCl to produce this effect is 136,200 mg NaCl. In more usual units this would be 136 grams of NaCl (1/4 lb) or about 1/2 cup
