That is a dilemma. For me, I don't particularly like drinking water but when I'm thirsty I suck on ice. That might help. Hmm… That is a dilemma.

Sucking on ice, although it helps, presents a host of other problems for me. As my mouth feels dry most of the time, I need to keep an ice cube in my mouth all the time. That numbs the tongue. Too much of that and my chest will feel congested too. At times like these, I really understand how it feels like to have the Sword of Damocles hanging over one's head. James,

I'm always impressed by information that goes "...In olden China, this is the season they make waxed sausages, waxed duck, waxed pork and every other thing they can wax." Must read whatever book you're reading or learn from whichever guru you're following. Understand the drinking dilemma. Granny had to be careful too. Does wetting you lips work? Interesting.

I learnt that from listening to stories told by my parents. It is troublesome wetting the lips with a cotton bud all the time. So all I can do is tolerate the discomfort and patiently wait for the dry season to pass. Marita,
