Oh god! Please no! I don't want to be forced to chew gum everytime I want to leave the house.


More like complimentary gum at every storefront.

Fixed it for you


What about garlic ? :) Or salty chips ? Or acid rich things ? Anything that is unfrienfly to microbes ? Only partially joking - what is scientific answer to that ?


The effect is on oral transmission only, not inhalation or entry through the eyes... so not very meaningful.
