Comments on: Cold Meds: Whither the Vegan Ones? http://preraphaelitepunk.com/2006/12/13/cold-meds-whither-the-vegan-ones/ Verbosity of a vegan geekgoth editor. I spend all day cutting out unnecessary wordiness; don't expect me to be succinct here.

I should find an old flannel shirt I could cut up and hem for cold-season hankies -- it would certainly be softer than the vintage cotton ones I inherited from my grandfather. Thanks! I hope your cold gets better soon. I swear colds have gotten more virulent since I was a kid . . . and in the meantime, licorice-root tea does seem to help, and is naturally sweet enough (and doesn't taste like dime-store licorice candy) that it feels like a bit of a treat, too.

That might be gentler than what you're using (I don't know, of course). Being currently cold-stricken myself and trolling the Interwebs for vegan shortcuts (all my drugs have cow in them), I sympathise with your predicament.
