    Mucous saliva forming when using high O2 for Deco

    Perhaps this is the result of the dryness of the gas you have been breathing, as well as a prolonged profile which you are doing from, aggravated by a degree of dehydration at this point? Maybe you should bring along a small travel size bottle of water or a mouth rinse such as Biotene. Just...
