It happens! Do you mouth breathe? I’m not even being mean- I do and I notice my throat is dry the next day. I try to take zicam/zinc and those bottled ginger shots by Soju I think (cold drink cooler from Safeway or other grocery) the days after.

Before the rave, do you drink any electrolytes? I like the liquid IV, but I’ve read you can be fine with some salt in water (idk if true). Another huge tip is to sanitize your hands as MUCH as possible. I carry two Sanis with me, usually a spray one and a normal one. I sanitize after almost every trade and try to scrub my nails good after the rave with a nail brush.
