NO!

Sea salt is a mixture of a lot of different salts, which may be poisonous too. It consists majority of common salt (NaCl) but also consists of some other dissolved salts like Potassium Bromide, Calcium salts and others. As all salts are salty, the sea water is salty, too

By Katy... :

When you say that some salts are poisonous, They are probably not. If you have gone swimming in the sea and have got it in your mouth (which most people probably have) then you will find that you don't become seriously ill if you accidentally swallow some! The only time you can say that sea salt is poisonous is when you purposely swallow it constantly!!

the only part of salt water that is poisonous is the dead sea!

Why is sea salt called sea salt?

In many cases, the two words "sea" and "ocean" are used to mean the same thing. Just as a "sea captain" actually sails on the ocean, "sea salt" really means salt coming from the ocean. There are technical differences between a "sea" and and "ocean" but these are not adhered to in nontechnical, normal daily language. When it comes to salt, the stuff one buys in the store as "sea salt" is likely to be from a sea and not an ocean. The salt gotten by evaporation from inland seas is often closer to pure sodium chloride than salt gotten directly from the ocean which is 78% sodium chloride.
