I have read on the boards before that some people experience nose dripping while eating. This happens to me. Even worse the minute I see food my nose runs. It is almost like a Pavlov dog effect.

I was wondering how many of you have this?

I was also wondering if any one know the biological reason for this happening. Does it have any to do with our saliva glands? Has anyone ask their doctor about it.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't heard of that one. Sounds pretty annoying. I hope it clears up for you soon!

It has to do with the vagus nerve. It runs along the stomach (and elsewhere in the body) and controls a lot of involuntary functions like sneezing, nose running, and hiccups. It typically gets injured/mashed/bruised during surgery and can lead to lots of ~interesting~ results for several months after.

I can't stop sneezing, sometimes 5 or 6 bouts a day. Nice to know the reason for it @Bufflehead

Nope, didn't have a drippy nose.

And for a minute there, I thought this thread was about incontinence.

That made my best laugh for the day
