Swallow a teaspoonful of vinegar. Sometimes just thinking about swallowing vinegar will do the trick.   Laird Shaw (4)

Hold your breath until they stop. If it doesn't work the first time, try once or twice more.   [guest]

Inhale until your lungs are full. Swallow, but without letting any air out. Sip some more air in, without letting any air out. Swallow. Repeat until you cannot swallow any more. Then exhale.   [guest]

Drink from the wrong side of the glass.....this is an old saying but don't dismiss it, if you get the mechanics right it really works.

1. Fill glass ~1/2 full of water.
2. Tilt head and place lip on far side of glass.
3. Suck water down your throat and swallow in this position.   [guest]

An effective remedy for hiccups is to slowly swallow a spoonful of granulated sugar.

Interestingly enough, it works just as well to imagine swallowing a spoonful of granulated sugar, as long as you make the same physical motions as you would with the real thing.   sdw (11)

Grass-ticks: Dab some eucalyptus oil, or methylated spirits on the tick. This works better than scraping it off, which leaves an itchy swelling.   Panoculus (40)

Sand-flies (biting midges): The bite of these tiny insects can be prevented by covering the skin, wearing insect repellent, or developing immunity by continued exposure. They don't transmit pathogens, but the sting and itchiness is a nuisance and can last a few weeks.   Panoculus (40)

Crocodiles: Freshwater types don't attack humans (they are two metres long or less, with a thin snout). Saltwater (estuarine) types do, and are larger, longer, and have a broad snout. Prevent attacks by being alert around smoothly-sloping shorelines of rivers, seas, and lakes in tropical climate areas.   Panoculus (40)
