I’m currently suffering with a nasty sickness bug and was wondering why my mouth fills with saliva right before I vomit?

I believe this is a bodily reaction in order to protect your teeth from the stomach acid that comes with your vomit

That acid can destroy your teeth or at least damage them if you vomit with dry mouth
