Is the condition of having to clear your throat contagious? if i am exposed to someone who clears his throat, will i start clearing my throat too?

Throat Clearing: Greetings. Throat clearing is a muscular movement attempt within the throat region to move mucus or some even think it may even be a way some individuals "itch or scratch" their irritated mucus membranes. This is rarely due to a contagious cause so do not fear you will become irritated with the same ailment. Drink lots of water this winter and see your doctor if problems persist. Happy Holidays.
