Well it is Tuesday now
Jessica and Leo will be in Casino now and I have been trusted with
feeding the bunnies while they are gone.
Anyway here is this
weeks gross & disgusting facts about saliva which sounds better
then spit.
Your
mouth produces between 1 & 2 litres of saliva a day
Your
saliva turns your food into a soup like mixture which makes it
easier to swallow
In
some parts of the world it is thought that a mother's saliva can help
build a child's immune system, so mums chew their baby's food before
feeding it to them.
A
single cow makes as much saliva as 200 humans
Llamas
spit when they get annoyed, their spit is super smelly because it
includes food from their stomach.
Spitting
cobras spit painful venom straight into the eyes of predators and
then slither away to safety.
These last ones have been gross and funny! :)
ReplyDeleteSaliva is important because without saliva, our mouth can go so dry and makes swallowing impossible. I have personally seen grandmothers chewing food and spitting it back into the food and then feed their grandchildren which I do find very, very disgusting. I wouldn't want to be spit on by an Llamas.
ReplyDeleteAnd, your saliva can remove YOUR own blood from clothes...
ReplyDeleteI can think of a few people I wouldn't mind being able to spit venom at.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a hound dog. I've never seen anyone who could drool more than that dog.
