Sometimes, just plain water, or water with some mild detergent, works best
for any given project. Saliva, however, contains bacteria. I sure wouldn't
be using saliva on ANY optics. Fogging a lens with the breath is another
matter. That's just water vapor.
Saliva on contact lenses? NOOO!!! Ask your optician. NOT GOOD! Sterile
saline solution ONLY! Susan, help us out here! Saliva doesn't belong in
cuts, either.... blood from a wound cleanses as well as anything, until you
can get to soap & water and/or proper medical attention... geez... maybe we
should hold a first aid course here! Never "spit" on a wound.
You guys are scarin' me now.
