Managing a runny nose onstage

[Leigh Semmens]

As a result of the accident that killed me some years ago, whenever I get warm, my nose runs like a tap! It's a bl**dy nuisance, but nothing I can do about it, I just pull my hanky and blow. It's not as though you are picking Klingons out around Uranus, it is a normal part of life, it might be abnormally common for some, but no-one will think any the less of you for blowing your nose. They might, if you let the boogers hang, or you wipe on your sleeve all the time. YMMV

This happens to me as well.

Could be worse. Immodium is a staple in the gig bag. Rarely need it. Like I rarely need a backup amp, but when you do, you really do.

As long as the gig bag doesn’t double as a makeshift latrine

Sudafed (generically "Pseudoephedrine") will help dry it up for most folks. Give it a try.

This is it
And be sure it’s the real pseudoephedrine behind the pharmacy counter; and have your ID ready jic. The stuff masquerading as Sudafed on the store shelf is krap
If you don’t have to ask for it, it ain’t it, at least in NJ
