Does Anyone Know If This Is Safe?

What? I've used a similar technique to get rid of blood noses before. Of course, the blood nose only goes away because there's no blood left in ur nose, it's all in the vacuum cleaner.

True story.

I know a guy who did that once.

Wouldn't the suction potentially break blood clots though and make you maybe bleed more?

I wouldn't do it, OP. What I'd do is one of the following:

- cough drop
- take some over the counter sore throat medicine
- drink hot tea

I've heard whiskey helps sore throats. I wouldn't know but an old friend's dad swore by it. He would always give his kids a tablespoon of whiskey to gargle then swallow.

i would assume pretty high

This is not the most effective method for a sore throat.

I do recommend gargling warm salt water though. This helps in two ways. a.) it will draw moisture out of any bacteria that have settled in your throat and b.) it draws the moisture out of your own swollen throat which in turn will relieve the inflammation.

You would assume incorrect. I was quite sober. However, I may have been just a kid. And really, what are kids if not drunk midgets?

I'd do the warm salt water thing. Get some cough drops too.

Or maybe see the doc? We DO have free health care up here WillWinnie/Bill, let's use it
