Pink saliva: Agree with Dr. Thompson. It sounds like serious causes for possible blood tinged saliva have been ruled out. Even minor tissue irritation can sometime lead to small amounts of bleeding & it could also come from gums as previously mentioned.

Help! I taste blood randomly. I spit. Its pink blood mixed in. I clear my throat, that's fine, no blood. So coming from mouth somewhere but not obvious. My platelets are elevated, is this the cause? Am I bleeding internal? Dying? Heamorrhaging? Scary?
