Is it unhealthy to drinking partner's saliva or rubbing it on the bodies?

Hi Mika,

Since saliva can be a way of transmitting illness, contact we have between a partner's saliva and our own poses some risk of passing an illness form one person to another (that's why you can get a cold from something like kissing). Saliva on the body isn't likely to pose an issue, since unbroken skin basically acts as a barrier to things that might be in the saliva.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Hi Mika.m,

Yes, it is a fairly low-risk activity. Just don't kiss someone if you know that they are sick with something like a cold.
