I think, ultimately, it depends on how often the thing gets used.
If it goes long enough between licks, the salt will dehydrate and kill any microbes on the surface. But that takes time. If two people lick it in very quick succession, germs could be passed from one to the other.
This guy licks.
Just gotta make sure 5 minutes passed since the last hobo
Imagine how strong your immune system would be afterwards though
I think I'd be more worried about what the meth addled fent zombies leave behind on it... Salt's not going to kill that.
What? You don't wanna get high for free?
Not really, no. You've gotta earn a high to really enjoy it... XD
And licking the subway salt isn't earning it enough for you? Do you need a boss battle first? The subway can also provide that.
