I'd always heard that a big downside of having them is the spit - sure they can give a "warning" spit that's just saliva, but if they give you the REAL stuff, it'll smell far worse than vomit, stain you, and you'll be rather nauseous the rest of the day.

Recently our family went to a Safari Park where they had llamas, and one spit in our car. It looked greenish, fairly voluminous and some stuck to the dash, but...it really didn't smell like much of anything. Faintly sour but just...not a big deal.

Was this maybe just a saliva spit and the "real" stuff is different? Or is llama spit being so horrific just fake news?
