# One should not blow against the wind causing the saliva to become mist. <ref>Rama 319:17, 39 Melachos (vol 2, pg 375) </ref> | # One should not blow against the wind causing the saliva to become mist. <ref>Rama 319:17 based on a Yerushalmi, 39 Melachos (vol 2, pg 375). R’ Akiva Eiger (Sh"t Rabbi Akiva Eiger 20), says that this Yerushalmi is against the Bavli, since the Bavli implies that zoreh is dependent on separating good from bad, which wouldn’t apply to spit, and therefore we don’t hold like the Yerushalmi. R’ Akiva Eiger actually explains that this Yerushalmi means that one is chayiv for zorek meaning throwing not zoreh, when spitting into another reshus. </ref> | ||
