    Muffle it in my sleeve. If its really bad for you I would get one of those cough mufflers you see on cabelas.

    ^^X2^^. I prefer Ricola cough drops. They seem to work better for me.

    I have a product called the cough blocker.. Looks kind of like a grunt call
    Just cough into this muffling device or even just clear your throat ... It does work

    Take at least 3000 mgs of vitamin C everyday to boost your immune system. When you feel a cough coming on, take a deep breath and drink some water. Use a cough drop if it becomes frequent. Fisherman's Friends Cough drops are really good. They smell and taste like wood with a little menthol, but they work really well.

    Coughing in the tree is the worst!!! I feel for ya!!! Pretty much the same advice here cough drops and water!!! I keep both in my pack! Just don't mix your pee bottle and water bottles up or coughing will be the least of you worries! Haha

    You guys ever take a sip of water on the stand and have it go down the wrong pipe?:(

    That's the worse.
