Yay for allergies!

Went for a nice ride and now I have a couple dozen gnats stuck to the mucus in the back of my throat.

That is all.

Read a story about how Kit Carson swallowed some cockleburrs covered in bear grease and tied onto a string, to cure a sore throat, after the bear grease melted he pulled them out. He never did it again!!

saline gargle or listerine gargle. Both are quit eeffective.

Heh. Yeah, I always seem to forget that one. I think I'll go do that now. Thanks Stacey & TexasGuy.

You can also do the saline-snort-into-your-sinuses thing. Do it in the shower though, it's messy :D. But it clears your sinuses like nothing else.

Take a cup full of warm salt water. Stick your nose in it and inhale until it starts to come down the back of your throat. Hold it as long as you can stand, then blow it back out (and cough, gag, anything else you feel the urge to do).
