Dale has the ventilation thing going on, but I wanted to comment about the dry mouth part. Do you keep water with you and take regular drinks? Torches and kilns generate a LOT of heat and between the flame and the airflow, you end up with some pretty dry air. Good hydration is very important!
Also, speaking only for myself, when I'm working intently on some kind of detail, I tend to become a mouth-breather. It's not something I noticed until DH made a comment, but it's true. I have a large, insulated, covered mug with a straw on my workbench at all times, and take regular sips. It helps a bunch and it's just plain good 'artist maintenance.'
