Thanks Michael....good advice. I do avoid swallowing it in the daytime, but sometimes can't. I don't eat enough for sure, and losing weight doesn't help!

I would say it could if you're not drinking and eating well. It naturally goes down your throat when you're sleeping, so it should not hurt you. But I avoid swallowing it as it also continues germs and dust particulates. My body is working hard enough.
