Throat lozenges.

As of the last conference that I recorded, I've started giving them out to anyone who so much as makes a noise. It's dang near impossible to remove a chunky bronchial cough from the middle of something important the speaker was saying.

If you think about it, it's cheaper to spend $10 on lozenges than to have to hunt along the timeline removing the hacks and sneezes.

Standard operating procedure from now on.

Gaffer tape.

Any color.

Reminds me of a certain thread we had running, discussing methods for dealing with pest photographers.

BTW, what lozenge were you using? good to keep this in mind. Just in case.

We have one over here called Anticol (http://www.nestle.com.au/Products/Remedies/Anticol/default.htm), which is a cough product with the stuff in it that gives off the vapours that clear out the nose.

Also in this category and worth having is VicksVapodrops (http://www.vicks.com.au/vapodrops-original.htm) which is universally regarded as the product-that-will-work-no-matter-what, when you have a stuffed nose. Absolutely brilliant.

Butter-Menthol (http://www.nestle.com.au/Products/Remedies/ButterMenthol/Butter-Menthol.htm) is also a good lozenge product. Very nice to consume. Great for a tickly throat.

I prefer one of these... they are quite cheap too :)
