I heard that swallowing little bits of saliva, over a long period of time, will kill you?

Answer 1

it sure will, it takes about 76 years on average

Answer 2

Yes it can,

If the saliva is not yours and that it belongs to an animal. Many animals such as domestic cats and dogs or even the wild kimono dragon has saliva full of bacteria that can harm a normal human being. These animal are immune to it so they don't get sick. Same reason why we don't die from swallowing our own bits of saliva. In fact saliva helps to prevent to decay neutralizing any acid producing bacteria in our mouth and some studies shows that amylase one of the enzyme in our saliva can help heal small wound. So I guess sucking you thumb after accidental hammering it, is one of the treatment for it.
