A member asked:
I drool a lot and consume a lot of saliva, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See MD: Drooling usually means you are not swallowing your saliva, rather than excessive saliva. You may have a swallowing disorder. See your MD about this. If swallowing disorder, he/she may refer you to an ENT doc.

Is it possible to get sick if my outdoor cat (who eats mice) accidentally got saliva/nasal excretions in my food and I ate it? I noticed she was drooling after jumping on me, so some of the saliva may have gotten in my food. (Is Hantavirus possible?)
