That's true.  And when they go, they get soaked in sun blockers---sad to
their D3 vitamin levels.

Salt air smell is mostly aromatics. How does a
beach visit cause significant magnesium ingestion?

Nice!  Thanks!

How much magnesium do your lungs absorb?  Or do you assume a visit
to the beach involved ingesting some of the water?

I often swim along the shore and even though I try not to, I probably do
swallow some.  But I heard the best absorption is through the skin, not
by ingestion.  In fact, some of the Mg you can buy in a pharmacy is to
be applied to the skin---probably for that reason?  (Though I prefer
taking a pill.)

The nearest ocean to me is 750 miles, and the water temperature there
is about 5 C.

Ouch.  I could say I'm sorry, but I actually think that if you were born
and raised where you are you probably love it and couldn't care less
about the coast?
