I could be wrong, but I believe sour salt is citric acid, and is used in
some pickling processes, and also was, at one time, I'm told, used by
Jews in cleaning their dairy dishes, at times when soap was primarily
made with animal fats.

If sour salt is citric acid, though, the possibility exists that people
who react badly to lemons may have a similar problem, in some cases.
