    My brother used to do chewing tobacco. He would spit into pop bottles. He left one laying around in the kitchen. I tried to steal a sip of what I thought was A&W root-beer. It was the same colour.

    What came next was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever experienced. Imagine drinking someone’s thick cold saliva mucus that had a disgusting apple cinnamon and smokey tar taste.

    I ran to the sink as fast as I could and spat it out and forced myself to throw up.

    BTW, human tissue might not be targeted by a bacteriophage virus, but our gut is filled with beneficial bacteria. This is why people get the runs from antibiotica and why there’s shit transplants.

    Most viruses are probably not surviving the acid bath that is our stomach, though.
