is this a symptom of an illness or deficiency?

Most things you crave is because your body is needing something in those foods.
I have always craved salt since I was a little girl. Come to find out, it was part of my medical condition. My body does not retain water; therefore I dehydrate very easily. Eating more salt than normal, helps my body hold in some of that liquid my body desparately needs.
So yes, it could be a deficiency. Check with your Dr.

You like salty foods or you need to drink more water.

no. some people have a taste for salty stuff, some people crave sweet things. it's nothing unusual.

You need to have salt in your food. not a good thing. too much salt will give you high blood pressure and heart problems .and also at times you think you need the salt but you really don't. its the taste of it that you like. its called mind over matter.

It means you've not got enough salt in your body. Yes a lot is bad for you, but you still need some; everything in moderation.

not really, it's pretty common... just try to keep your sodium intake under about 2400mg a day and you'll be fine.
