Spitting/spraying people when talking to them

[Vikki111]

Does anyone know what is the reason I have excess saliva and spray people when I talk to them.  It started about 15 years ago.  I have hashimotos, and type 2 diabetes.  The possible treatments would be robinul, Botox in the salivary glands, removal of salivary glands.  Medication that they give to people who drool excessively.  Any other treatments that you know might work?  Everyone has to wipe their face and if I look at them the spit hits them in the Same spot on their face. Help! This problem seems to be rare.

Thank you for replying.  I feel you may have given me the best answer so far regarding positioning my tongue to keep the saliva from spraying out.  I'm going to try this.  I'll let you know what happens

Hi, there is an entity called ‘gleeking’, where the person compresses on submandibular salivary gland until a stream of saliva is released. This is then focused on a target. Many people experience unintentional bouts of gleeking whenever they yawn deeply or consume hard candy. This is voluntarily practised. The tongue protects others from the effects. Like this you can practise to obtain control of the salivary flow, try to block it with the tongue and keep swallowing the excess frequently. Check with a dentist to see if he can offer any suggestions. Regards.
