It's the dose that makes the poison. Many people who don't explicitly take lithium get a daily low dose from food and drinking water.
I mentioned that table salt in excess is toxic. Incidentally, lithium chloride has been used as a healthier substitute for salt. Ordinary table salt is sodium chloride, and potassium chloride is also used. All three of the metals are called earth alkali metals and are in the same group in the periodic table of elements.
Lithium actually mimics sodium in the body.
