I don't think it would be any worse than eating a bunch of hard candy, or worst case scenario maybe having too much cough syrup or whatever medicinal ingredient is present.

I've been popping Halls and Ricola steady for 3-4 days. Interestingly enough, the Ricola package *does* say not to exceed a certain amount of drops per day. Not sure if that is because of a medicinal ingredient or what. I ripped most of the wrapper off so I can't compare the ingredients.

There are some echinacea Halls - citrus flavours - that are great. I tried to find the variety pack but all they had the other day was Lemon/Lime.

I'm gonna have a Ricola right now just for you.

Fisherman's Friend FTW! I always have a supply of the sugar-free ones on hand.

I think it's just menthol.
