Danger in to much Aquarium Salt?

I second copper sulfate...stick with a commercial product if you don't know how to dose.

If you have ich, you probably have nitrIte or ammonia present, and no amount of salt will fix this problem. Only clean water, and cycled biomedia will help keep your water happy.

Raise the temperature to 82 and keep the water clean. The clean water itself will help the fish fight off the ich infestation.

For directions on how to treat ich with salt, see here.

How do you figure that because a tank has ich is has ammonia or nitrite?

I didn't know that salt resistant ick existed. Now that's pretty scary.
