What does fully cured mean to you cotton? I think saliva is natural and all mammals lick there lips. U got dogs? Wikipedia says saliva is important to keep the oral mucosa from drying out. You should know people with ec try different things to see what works best. Over the last 15 years ive come to the conclusion that i have 2 options. Both require moistening the lips. One is to never lick your lips and to constantly moisten them with water, which works good. The other is to moisten them with saliva. I dont appreciate the hostile responses so please be nice im only trying to help.
