Strep Throat, oh dear God.....

"Drink waters out of thine own cistern"- Book of Proverbs

More than three million Chinese drink their own urine in the belief it is good for their health, according to the official Xinhua news agency, "All kinds of throat inflammation can be helped by gargling with urine to which a bit of saffron has been added". Let me know how it works for you ! :drinks:

(btw, J/K! It sure is weird what a search engine can turn up!)

But that only works with chinese urine.... My fever is gone, but my throat hurts so goddamned bad that I'm seriously considering drinking some chinese urine.

If only I knew where a chinaman. Hmmmm... Preferably a hot chinawoman. Like really hot. Maybe I should just search for that on the intertubes.

Maybe If I had wifey wear a long dark black wig, paint her eyes up and talk in pidgin-engrish....

I've got my own remedie now: Arizona green tea and pomegranate with honey and a little salt.

Tastes like chinese pee I'll bet!

I gargled salt water + antiseptic mouthwash, bought 2 packs of cheap tooth brushes and just threw them out after each use... lots of rest, honey and lemon tea, etc.

My "remedy" was freakin painful and horrible to go through, and I probably didn't get better any faster, but I certainly didn't get reinfected.

"The replace your toothbrush" advice is good.

I didn't think of that, though truth be told, since I got sick, my throat has been too sore to dick around with that. Salt rinses, listerine rinses and tea have kept the usual bacteria down anyhow....

I'm gonna run mine through the dishwasher. Strep won't live through that... Hell, anthrax won't live through that.
