20.27

"Furthermore, through wisdom gained from hearing or through the divine eye, one sees the saliva-digesting worms residing in the throat. If a person does not eat grease and the like as mentioned above, the worms remain at peace and can digest the saliva, exuding delicious flavors through the ten vessels so that one rests comfortably in ease. If a person salivates excessively, the worms become sick; because the worms are sick, they vomit cold froth, thus causing disease in the chest."
