Nope. Lady bugs can do that or at least most of it... and they do not seem
to disgust most people. I have a fairly large number of spiders living
around my house -- I live near a lake and they help reduce the level of
unwanted pests. I like them.

I am not talking a full glass worth! Just spit a little into a cup and then
drink it. Yuck. For that matter, we have mucus from our nose drip down our
throats all the time... but the thought of sneezing into your hand is not
pleasant and then eating it is absolutely repulsive. I admit it is for me...
but why?

I suppose if our own was not gross to us then we might eat others and that
would spread disease. Still, it is not really logical that our own that we
eat anyway is so gross.

Not suggesting it should not be. I am certainly not starting a campaign to
push spit drinking and bugger eating... but I realize it is just an
instinctual response and not really rational.

Never tried. :)

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
