Chris - Re: RAI at MGH/lemon suckys

[Guest guest]

I'm like . Spicy Foods really did the trick for me. One bite of

a jalapeno pepper and the salvia poured in, broke up and became very

thin like water. I also did the lemon drop thing but found dpicy

food and raw fruit to work better.

come in small bags. Check out Lifesavers.

lots of sour gummy candies that do a good job. Joan recommended

Altoids

I brought along some lemons and squeezed them into my water.
