I don’t think you would melt, considering your own mouth is full of saliva and does fine. You would be at huge risk of infection though.
…That’s enough Lemmy for today.
Same, and I just opened it
Physically, I don’t think so; the main enzyme in saliva mainly digests starch, which humans are not made of
More likely, you’d drown eventually due to not being let out, which would be one of the crazier ways to die I guess, up their with that time when some nobles drowned in fecal matter
I’m pretty sure the primary enzymes in saliva are amalyse and lipase. They start to break down starches and fats respective. You’d probably needs something that breaks down protiens to have any effect on your skin.
Or be mashed into a pulp so the lipase could get to work…
FWIW, saliva contains epidermal growth factor, which is actually good for the skin. It’s one of the reasons the insides of our mouths heal so quickly.
Which is also why animals lick their wounds, I believe.
People are seriously downvoting a silly but innocent question posted here? 😭
Can we rename the sub to “nevermindactually”?
This is a suspiciously specific question 🤔
It definitely wouldn’t be good for your skin. That being said, your first concern would be becoming exhausted and drowning. If you’re eventually let out before you die, it would be a factor in your recovery, though.
Did you really ask this after I posted a just posted a question about Germophobia?
😭
This universe gotta be trolling me.
That depends. Are you made of cotton candy?
Your mouth is full of spit 100% of the time and you aren’t melting.
If it were a pool of e-girl saliva I would willingly drown before the saliva could melt me.
Please don’t leave your dark cave.
That’s Dan Schneider level fucked up.
Boy, I love this sidelemmy. Never change.
🥵🥵🥵
Bro. No. Just no…
