Slobbered

Tom's dog slobbered on his pillow.

Tom slobbered.

Your skin serves as one of the first lines of defense against illness and injury. Its health depends on the balance between your own cells and the millions of microbes—including bacteria, fungi, and viruses—that live on its surface. But during an average day, parts of your skin may brush surfaces in stores, elevators, and restrooms; get nicked by a kitchen knife; be washed with rain; rest on a gym mat; and be slobbered on by a dog.
