Fast acting - gargle with warm water with a bit of cayenne pepper mixed in. You can mix a little honey with it if you want to make it taste better but honey is not necessary. Put the mixture in a spray bottle so you can spray it in your mouth as needed while at the game, you don't have to spit it out.(just like the store bought stuff only works faster). Try not to get it on your lips(has a little hot feeling to it) Do a yahoo search on it, it really works.
