You recommend spitting out any of the sinus rinse solution that reaches the back of the throat. Why does one need to spit out the solution rather than just swallowing it? Is the solution harmful to ingest?

The solution is not harmful if ingested, but it is not recommended to swallow the solution and is also unpleasant to swallow as it is like drinking salt water.
