I just read an article that states a man received 50 hours community service and 2 years probation for spitting on someone the mans convition came under 18 U.S.C. section 113(a)(5) I looked it up because someone spit in my sons face and I knew it had to be assult of some sort because spit is a bodily fluid that could possible contain blood in it and with blood comes all sorts of things so I Hope this helps
