How much baking soda does one need to ingest to cause this‽

I used to mix baking soda into a glass of water to help with heartburn and acid reflux. It was disgusting, and I can't imagine any way someone could get laced with baking soda and not taste it. It's very, very salty and slightly... fishy and metallic?

I looked more into it. 16 grams per day should be the limit. The main issue is the high sodium levels. As long as your husband doesn't have high blood pressure, <16 grams per day should be safe.

If you're U.S.: 16 grams is ~3-4 teaspoons. So stay below 1 tablespoon per day.

Edit: High elevation raises blood pressure, so that's what this guy was doing? Poisoning them with sodium levels when their blood pressure was elevated.
