So the "plastic" doesn't get in the drink... Most tea bags are either made of polypropylene or manila hemp and sealed with polypropylene, or made with plant-based polylactic acid (heat sealable).
They use plastic so they can heat seal the bags.

Well, hope it works. By the bye, have you ever tried silver nitrate sticks on the little bastards? I used to use them as a teen as my canker sores back then would persist much longer. If you can put up with 2 or 3 seconds of eye watering pain (per sore), they are pretty much an instant fix.Madrigal wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 10:48 pmI've had sores ever since childhood (they are not on my lips, they are inside my mouth) so I have an idea of the things that cause them. Back when I used to eat a lot of chocolate, I noticed that chocolate caused them. I also noticed that citrus fruits cause them. And I guess I never noticed the coffee conection because I drank mate tea most of my life. I recently, maybe two months ago, switched to a Brazilian coffee that's really strong, and that's around the time my cankersores went out of control. I can barely talk right now btw. Anyway, yes, I had no coffee today and I won't for a couple of weeks, and we'll see how it goes for me just drinking tea. I'll add the coffee back later (not the Brazilian one).
Thanks, but I'd rather not. I've been dealing with this problem for decades and I no longer use drastic methods like those. Mainly because I don't really have a whole lot of evidence that they speed the process up enough. I even stopped using salt/baking soda for the same reason. I did try some garling with salt water lately because I was so desperate, but I don't think it did anything except clean the sores.
Have you tried Bonjela. Tastes quite nice and works pretty well (I think Bebegesic is the Chilean analogue).Madrigal wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 3:05 amMy aunt who is a doctor once gave me a liquid that's for using in the operating room to speed up the scarring process (at least this is how I remember the way she described it?). I put a drop on a cankersore and it really was miraculous. The entire area turned white a while and healed in a day. I don't know what that thing was and I no longer talk to that aunt.
I have it here. I'm not aware that it speeds up the healing.
I read this post as, "I like to get lock jawed on coffee so my stomach disapproves." Then I was all like, *Marlan Wayans* naw stupit, have some respec'sMoneyJungle wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 5:36 pmI like to get jacked up on coffee in the morning but my stomach disapproves so I’ve taken to a big cup of coffee in the morning followed by green tea through the afternoon to try to stretch out the initial coffee buzz. I make good coffee but I don’t really care about tea quality. I buy green bullet at the Chinese grocery store for cheap, brew mass quantities and put it in the fridge.
When I have more than one cup of regular tea like Lipton, my stomach starts to hurt and I also feel nauseous. I don't mean to say it's because the tea is cheap, but maybe I need to drink a different type. Oh, regular green tea also makes me nauseous. Maybe I've been brewing tea too strong.MoneyJungle wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 5:36 pmI like to get jacked up on coffee in the morning but my stomach disapproves so I’ve taken to a big cup of coffee in the morning followed by green tea through the afternoon to try to stretch out the initial coffee buzz.

This comment leads me to believe you have never actually tried these. It ain't no slow cure, the chemicals react with the moisture in your mouth and cauterize the ulcer. It's an instant fix. You'd think the resultant tissue trauma would cause a whole new problem, but it doesn't really. I presume it's that the resultant chemical burn is very superficial and doesn't bother you much while it heals. The application stings though, not gonna sugar coat that aspect.
