If the person is not responding, squirting it under the tongue will get some of it absorbed into the bloodstream without risk of going down the wrong tubes. Later, a few saltines can also do a good job. They can get soggy, of course... These are standard in the first aid kits carried by AMC trips in the NY-NJ area. Sometimes glucosamine as well but according to the MDs in the club ingesting a little sugar in these amounts is not going to create a problem -- and it's cheaper. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
