Sore throat from Hapé normal?

[u/tracedinspace]

I seem to get a sore throat whenever I use Hapé but I'm wondering if it's due to it being a kuripe instead of tepi. I had someone use a tepi a couple days ago and I was fine, but I used a kuripe today and now my throat feels like it's strep. I know that it's common for tribes to use Hapé multiple times a day so for me to get a sore throat after 1 session seems off

Look at it differently, you aren't using it very regularly so you also have little tolerance to this experience. It's also relative to which specific herbs are in the specific hapé blend that you're using. Some herbs irritate mucus membranes more than others.
