Is there any harm in swallowing the throat drip? I have been spitting it which ends up being more like dipping than I’d like, especially With stuff like NTSU black.
Personally, I crave the drip with some snuffs and others I avoid. To lesson the drip keep the snuff closer to the front of your nose and avoid hard sniffs as your mucus takes affect.
I know this question has probably been asked a lot already. I have been spitting all throat drip but on occasion it is not appropriate. I have turned green and been sick for an hour or two after swallowing dip before so definitely want to avoid that. I’m guessing that this is not an issue with snuff or does it depend on the kind of snuff? NTSU black seems like it was made to be dip and I would not want it in my stomach. Also wondering if anyone has looked into the possible health hazards of “eating” snuff in this way over the long term?
I cram so much snuff in my nose that I always experience throat drip. I mean it has to go out in one or two ways. You blow it out or you swallow it. Even people who think they do not swallow any are just use to the act of snuffing that they do not notice. 5 minutes ago I had just snuffed some Ozona President and my nose had a good run going so I blew my nose. I then brushed my teeth and went to spit and it was a huge black glob of mucus and tobacco. I would have just gone on about my day and never new that I had swallowed that much snuff but it happens and I am sure those who used snuff 100s of years before us did the same with little to no ill effects.

You won’t have worms. …
Personally I do not recommend consuming drip - it gives me a pain in my left side. I do not get that when I get rid of it.
I never had throat drip from Ntsu. I jam it up in a big wad and it blows out as one (or a few). My nose gets runny out the front that way. As to other drips, blowing preemptively prevents most of them. For those I do get, I spit if its convenient, and swallow if as you say on the occasions its not appropriate. I will however, never swallow the Pöschl ones, as they make me gag, and I don’t want to eat mineral oil and whatnot.
spit or swallow. . . thats a bit personal, eh? ;p all jokes aside, it is personal. a personal choice, based on what you are comfortable with. personally I do both. depending on what snuff I’m using. health wise, I doubt you will get scientific data about the saftey of gutting nasal drip, but I would bank on it being safer than a lot of things. just do what feels more right for ya. 
The only snuff making me drip every single time, is SWS’s Auld Alliance. It’s a shame, because I would simply love this snuff otherwise. Tried cca 20 different snuffs in the recent months (some of them are very similar to AA’s ground, texture, etc) and no drip occurred, but with AA. What is the reason for that? Since I admire the AA’s aroma, I gave another chance: mixed it with Braniff Whisky. The drip was less severe and came a bit later, but still was there… Are there other snuffs on the market, which are known for their drip effect?
^ most of the Molens affect me this way, ditto the coarse-ground artisan snuffs from Abraxas and Johnny, but it doesn’t bother me, tissues and snuffling…it may have something to do in the latter cases with the use of rusticas.
