Copied and edited from someone else's answer on a similar question (they're not registered on WikiAnswers or I'd reference them): They form because the water from their sweat evaporates and then the salt can't go with it! You might like to check the other questions regarding salt and cystic fibrosis as I don't think the above answer quite covers your question.

Which Genetic disorder is more common in Caucasians?
Hemochromatosis type 1 (or simply Haemochromatosis, or HH) is a hereditary disease characterized by excessive absorption of dietary iron resulting in a pathological increase in total body iron stores. Humans, like most animals, have no means to excrete excess iron. Excess iron accumulates in tissues and organs disrupting their normal function. The most susceptible organs include the liver, adrenal glands, the heart and the pancreas; patients can present with cirrhosis, adrenal insufficiency, heart failure or diabetes. The hereditary form of the disease is most common among those of Northern European ancestry, in particular those of Irish descent, and is currently the most common in the US.

Which will form crystals faster Gatorade or water?
