Also, it kind of left a weird taste in my mouth after awhile but it's better than suffering from severe throat pain which is the worst body pain you can have!

I used 1/4 teaspoon of pepper with 1 cup of warm water, gargling the entire glass. WIth the final remaining sip, I figured I'd swallow the rest to make sure it got all the way to the back of my throat.
The "hotness" did not bother me, as I enjoy spicy food, however the remedy did seem to just operate as a distractor. I will try it a couple more times, since some of you recommended several doses, although I am skeptical.
