[{"role": "system", "content": "Saliva is a watery substance formed in the mouths of animals, secreted by the salivary glands. Human saliva comprises 98% water, plus electrolytes, mucus, white blood cells, epithelial cells (from which DNA can be extracted), glycoproteins, enzymes (such as amylase and lipase), antimicrobial agents such as secretory IgA and lysozyme. The enzymes found in saliva are essential in beginning the process of digestion of dietary starches and fats. These enzymes also play a role in breaking down food particles entrapped within dental crevices, thus protecting teeth from bacterial decay. Furthermore, saliva serves a lubricative function, wetting food and permitting the initiation of swallowing, and protecting the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity from desiccation. Various animal species have special uses for saliva that go beyond predigestion. Some swifts use their gummy saliva to build nests. \"Aerodramus\" nests form the basis of bird's nest soup. Cobras, vipers, and certain other members of the venom clade hunt with venomous saliva injected by fangs. Some caterpillars, produce silk fiber from salivary glands. Produced in salivary glands, human saliva is 99.5% water, but also contains many important substances, including electrolytes, mucus, antibacterial compounds and various enzymes.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I make an abnormal amount of saliva, I used to spit all the time"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Uhh, okay, it's considered rude to spit in the West, but in other parts of the world it's very common habit."}, {"role": "user", "content": "My parents were not a fan of that at all, they punished me for it"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Do you live with your parents still?
