Prickly pear cactus is also used for medicine. Prickly pear cactus is used for type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, alcohol hangover, colitis, diarrhea, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). It is also used to fight viral infections. In foods, the prickly pear juice is used in jellies and candies.
Drooling is usually caused by excess saliva in the mouth. Medical conditions such as acid reflux and pregnancy can increase saliva production. Allergies, tumors, and above-the-neck infections such as strep throat, tonsil infection, and sinusitis can all impair swallowing.
Strong or bad-tasting substances could cause temporary drooling. Wouldn't last very long though. And I don't know if one over-salted penne could do this, perhaps. It would happen immediately, though and it would be very temporary drooling though. If it is persistent, something else is behind it. Delete
