anyone have experience with black sputum/saliva? I see that on my llmd's symptom list every time I go see her, but is that associated with lyme/coinfections or mold?

I had a big black spot on my tongue awhile ago. I did look up this symtom and the info I received was that it was probably a symptom of yeast. Now that I am spot on with my diet my tongue is now clean and pink.

I know that I have had some odd color sputum from time to time, but it's usually related to something I had exposed myself to - some thing with a lot of dust to it.

I did find these links, although I don't know the reliability of their information:

Dried blood looks black, could it be dried blood?

She's not experiencing it, but sees it on her doc's intake form that gets filled out each time she's there.

And I don't think it would be dry if it's mixed with saliva?
