The "Saliva Scanner" is a device that checks food for contamination with other people's saliva. It does this by detecting enzymes in human saliva.

Have you ever been to a restaurant or fast food restaurant and seen the person in charge of cooking sneeze? Some people are concerned that their saliva might fly out and get into the food they are cooking.

Many people may think, "It's nothing more than saliva. However, if the person in charge of food preparation is in possession of a virus that can be transmitted through saliva, there is no possibility that a person who eats the food will develop a viral infection.

The odds of this happening seem pretty slim, though.

In such cases, if the food is checked with the "Saliva Scanner," it is possible to eat with a little peace of mind. This may only be a comforting thought, but it may be effective when certain viral infections are prevalent.


Also, in old dramas and comic works, we have seen scenes of office workers in the hot water supply room putting rag squeezed juice or saliva in the tea of their bosses whom they do not like. The "Saliva Scanner" may be useful for those who are worried that their tea may be treated in such a way.

However, I think it is more effective to make an effort not to be disliked or to make tea by yourself. By the way, the Saliva Scanner does not detect the squeezed juice of a rag.

The Saliva Scanner is currently seeking investors on kickstarter. It smells a bit fishy, though, so I don't recommend investing in it.
