Saliva

On Tuesday in class we talked about spit/saliva. The whole class agreed that it is disgusting to let out saliva on a spoon and then put it back in the mouth, but is it really as disgusting as we make it out to be? I don't think so. Depending on where it is, for example Sports players spit on the ground, so they would not put it back in their mouth. If I spat on the spoon, then put it in my mouth wouldn't be to disgusting, but it still is disgusting a bit. Nobody wants to put something they spit out of their mouth back in their mouth. Like I have had times when I'm eating something really disgusting, so I have spit it out I don't put it back in my mouth. Nobody would. 1) because it tasted disgusting 2) I already spit it out, why would I put it back in my mouth. We also talked about how the Japanese bath differently. I think the way they clean themselves makes sense. They shower and get the dirt off first and then they relax in the bath tub. That's smarter then bathing in your own dirt.
