Phoenix Maplewood The Next Step

Esaro had a point, saliva was most efficient for cleaning wounds, but it was also most efficient for spreading germs, especially when you lick someone’s eye.  She frowned.  “I don’t mean to ruin your moment of pride or anything Esaro.  Yes, Shreya does have a point.  Saliva can be efficient in cleaning wounds, but it can also be very efficient in spreading germs.  Especially if you're licking a cut right above someone’s eye.”  Spring pointed out.  “But Luna seems fine, so I’m sure no germs or very little were transferred.  Thing is when you lick someone’s eye or near it, some of that saliva, maybe even a tiny tiny tiny amount that you can barely see, can slip into the beings eye.  Now in our eyes we have no sense of feeling, for example if I was stabbed in the eye with someone’s claw in my eye I would feel it enter and that would hurt, but one it was in my eye I would no longer feel it.  Then the saliva will slip through the being's eye through a pipelike thing, that will lead to the back of their throat.  Then they will swallow and done goes someone else’s saliva, into their system...”  Spring trailed off at that.  That did sound pretty disgusting, but it was life.  Life had it’s wonderful and disgusting parts.

Spring cast them both an apologetic glance at both of them.  “I’m not trying to scare you, but healing is my specialty, so I have to know about the body.  That means both of you do to, if you want to ever learn healing.  Some would argue with me and state still that saliva is the best way to go... but if you want to avoid some germs I would personally stick with nice water washed cobwebs, when working with cuts on the eye.  We swallow a lot more than we know.  Same goes for every living being.”  The female informed Lunar Eclipse and Esaro.  “As for the tripping part, that I understand.  We can all be very klutzy."
