Actually, when I have nausea say from tummy bug, my own saliva helps to ease it better than pepto bismol.

I know that my salivary glands over produce when I am nauseated. My first reaction is to spit it out, but if I keep swallowing my spit, the nausea calms down.

I wonder if the body produces chemicals or enzymes (delivered through saliva) for this purpose?


For US peeps, bogies = boogers.

Ear wax and belly button lint, smell better than they taste.
