"The results suggest that LPS has a preferential, but not exclusive, inhibitory effect on sodium intake and on intracellular thirst. The inhibition of hydro-mineral intake and the antinatriuresis caused by LPS in dehydrated rats may contribute to the multiple effects of the endotoxin on fluid and electrolyte balance and be part of the strategy to cope with infections."

and

"The present results suggest that brain 2-adrenocep- tors have a role controlling sodium intake in pathological situations associated with LPS. Understanding this role may provide an additional tool for basic and clinical research to understand and counteract the effects of the endotoxin."

It makes you think about salting to taste. That would be fine, except for the fact that bacteria is manipulating that.
