I would step back myself. Do you do that?
If she doesn't get it, I think it's a good idea to say something like, "I need personal space." Like if she questions you or asks you about it. You can be indirect (stepping away), or direct (talking to her about it, which it sounds like you're leaning towards this), or end the conversation all together.
I would not comment on the spitting. That's just me personally.
Do you have to interact with this person?
