Sublingual Administration

I learned the word "sublingual" today when my boss asked how my sublingual experiment was going. I assumed this was some project that I was supposed to be working on but had forgotten about, so I said, "What are you talking about?" And she, understanding that I had no idea what sublingual meant, said, "The homeopathic cold drops you're putting under your tongue?" Oh, that experiment. Well, the truth is that I have no control group in this experiment, so while I am taking some strange Voodoo drug I got from the health store that claims on its label to be of "Unparalleled Potency," I can't tell if it's working. I'm probably getting better, but I don't know if it's due to this vile tasting thing I'm taking every half-hour. In any case, I've decided to stick with it for the duration. If I start hallucinating, I'll stop.
