magical cayenne pepper

i seem to have caught some sort of viral ickyness that includes a terribly sore throat. cough drops never really help much and i was feeling desperate so i looked up home remedies on google. i kept finding things that said to drink various things like orange juice or water with cayenne pepper in it. i was afraid to try it but desperation drove me to try it and it works! it sort of numbs my throat and i am realizing i tend to like spicy things like hot and sour soup when i am sick for the reason of it helping my sore throat and it helps with congestion. so next time you get a sore throat try cayenne pepper!
