$#@! happens!
That's SPIT happens! ;-)
Tongue slaps will throw some spit in the harp. At first you'll tend to clog up the harp more than usual, but your body gets used to it over time and it goes away.
#1) Try keeping your head while you play so you're not drooling into the harp.
#2) Use a lighter touch with your slaps.
#3) You can tap your harp on your leg at large rest areas to keep this minimized for now.
