Re: [Harp-L] Excessive salivating (yuck)

["Monsterharp" <Monsterharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I try to keep myself hydrated at all times but fall short of the mark at 
times. What I was taught is if your thirsty your already dehydrated, 
Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics (make you pee)<(G rated version)which 
will dehydrate you. I also use an alcohol free mouth rinse called Bioteen 
which is specifically made as a dry mouth remedy.......... As for 
excess....................swallow...........................not the harp.
