Changing the makeup of saliva to melt plastic
+0
−0
I am writing a book in which criminals get their hands on a polymer which resembles chewing gum , but alters their saliva. This allows them to burn holes into walls made from plastic used as building material in an alternate future of earth.
-Is it possible to create a "gum" that alters saliva enough to burn through plastic without significantly harming the user?
- the word plastic is being used as a generic placeholder for any plastic that will allow for this situation to take place
