Re: Need To Get Rid Of This Habit!
I do that too, but only AFTER I get a sore throat because it itches the inside of it and makes it feel better.
I think gum would be the most help to you, but that doesn't really work the same muscles so ... I don't know; maybe not. You could try giving yourself negative reinforcement whenever you catch yourself doing it - like forcing yourself to clean a dish or put a quarter in your piggy bank or something like that. Just to become more aware of yourself and when/where you're doing it.

I know what you mean, but I'm doing that in my lower throat like an inch above my collar bone.
Re: Need To Get Rid Of This Habit!
I have to ask, why are you asking a question about a sore throat, developed by a day-long habit, on a ball pythons forum?

Gargle with some saltwater. Suck on a Cold-eze. They have zinc in them and they do help shorten a cold. I swear by them.

Thanks! I will definitely try this. I did go home sick today, my nose was kinda stuffy/runny and I have a sore throat. I'm starting to feel aches now, in my lower back and neck.

Well remember you are what you eat. ;)
It's always good to create good habits when you are young. I am not saying to become a healthy food freak, but you should know something you shouldn't be eating when it is in your plate.
