Mesorat%20hashas for Tevul Yom 3:6

טָהוֹר שֶׁנָּגַס מִן הָאֹכֶל וְנָפַל עַל בְּגָדָיו וְעַל כִּכָּר שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, טָהוֹר. הָיָה אוֹכֵל זֵיתִים פְּצוּעִים וּתְמָרִים רְטֻבּוֹת, כֹּל שֶׁהוּא רוֹצֶה לָמֹץ אֶת גַּרְעִינָתוֹ וְנָפַל עַל בְּגָדָיו וְעַל כִּכָּר שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, טָמֵא. הָיָה אוֹכֵל זֵיתִים נְגוּבִין וּתְמָרִים יְבֵשׁוֹת, כֹּל שֶׁאֵינוֹ רוֹצֶה לָמֹץ אֶת גַּרְעִינָתוֹ וְנָפַל עַל בְּגָדָיו וְעַל כִּכָּר שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, טָהוֹר. אֶחָד טָהוֹר וְאֶחָד טְבוּל יוֹם, כָּאֵלּוּ. רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, אֵלּוּ וָאֵלּוּ טְמֵאִין בִּטְבוּל יוֹם, שֶׁמַּשְׁקִין שֶׁל טָמֵא מַכְשִׁירִין לִרְצוֹנוֹ וְשֶׁלֹּא לִרְצוֹנוֹ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין טְבוּל יוֹם טָמֵא:

If a pure person took a bite from some food, and it fell [along with his saliva] onto his clothes and onto a loaf of terumah, it is pure [i.e. the loaf has not been primed for impurity]. If one was eating split olives, or moist dates, as long as he wanted to suck on its pit, if it fell onto his clothes and onto a loaf of terumah, it is impure [i.e. the loaf has been primed to be susceptible to being rendered impure]. If one was eating dried olives, or dry dates, as long as it he did not want to suck on its pit, if it fell onto his clothes and onto a loaf of terumah, it is pure. Like these [cases, this rule applies] regarding both a pure person and a tevul yom. Rabbi Meir says: these and those [i.e. both cases] are impure with regard to a tevul yom, since liquids from an impure person prime [things to become susceptible to being rendered impure], whether in accordance with his desire or not in accordance with his desire. And the Sages say: a tevul yom is not considered an impure person [i.e. and therefore his liquids do not prime for impurity against his desire].
