When my Dad was in the navy in the tropics they'd put people on a charge
for not taking their salt tablets.

Two different compunds

Sodium Chlor_ate_ is commonly used as a weedkiller but can be used to
make an explosive mix.

Sodium chlor_ide_ is otherwise known as common salt. This is the 'salt'
you put on food and is what would be in the salt tablets. The bdy needs
sodium chloride to function but it is lost in sweat so in areas where
peple sweat heavily, it is given as a supplement. Too much can
contribute to raised blood pressure.
