Who knew so much crap could come out of one nose?

I should invest in the Kleenex company.

:+

I could send you a big bag of used Kleenex if you really want.

crap is NOT supposed to come out of your nose. :o

Let's just call it nose crap.

....for the sophomoric humor.

:yoiks:

:)

of it, my nose stayed red.

Good thing I don't have antlers too.

I hope you get well soon.

You'll be glad you did. Feel better! :hug:

How can a person produce that much goop?

If you really want to clear it out, you could mace yourself, but I wouldn't do that. I remember from basic when we went through the gas chamber, those danged CS grenades will drain your brains out of your head.

That doesn't sound like a bad plan to me.

*yvr contemplates how she can start a riot*

with about 5 ft of goop coming from each nostril.

Gross as hell. I think CS is cruel. It sure as hell clears out anything remaining in your cranium.

The part where they were coming out of that chamber... snot on boots, close up of my neice... brother-in-law said that was NOT what he envisioned for his delicate daughter.

Wonder who has that video now that her girls are old enough to appreciate it :evilgrin:

Yeah, some tear gas ought to do the trick for anyone with a head cold.

The awful thing is, you can't rub your face or it will burn worse and won't disperse. You have to flap your arms like an idiot. I looked like a red-faced octopus.

It is just amazing.

And mine has only just begun. :-(

I wish I knew how to stop it in the early stages. x(

I hope you feel better soon. :hi:

Most times I start to get a cold, ZICAM will wipe it right out. If it doesn't wipe it out, it usually will hurry it along.

:hi:

Thanks for the tip. Anything that can help is worth trying. :hi:

They sell it on swabs or in a squirter. Be sure if you get the squirter that you don't use it like normal nasal spray, just point it to the front tip of your nose, or it will burn.

I guess it binds with the virus, and doesn't allow it to reproduce in your nose. It is a bit pricey, like 8 bucks, but it lasts, and it is worth it!

Good luck!

:hi:

Hope everything is going ok for you after Katrina. Many folks here were concerned, and we were glad to see you made it through safely.

:hi:

One step at a time. I am in better shape than many.

I was so touched to learn that so many here were pulling for me. I think that made a huge difference.
thanks. :hi:

I do one almost every day to keep the sinuses clear - really helps with the allergies.

But I ask because, often if I go for a while without one, or have been in real dirty/dusty areas, when I do a rinse, some really awful ugly stuff has come out of the nose.

The soil my group got was so solid we had to run it through the rock crusher, and lemme tell ya.... gray clay boogers for a week is no good. :(

depending on what I was doing. Especially when I was in NYC.

and out pops a new car! :7

I take my allergy medicine during the runny nose phase. It is an anti-histamine and it makes that phase much more bearable. I cannot understand why anybody would buy Kleenex though, especially after what they did in Biafra. More to the point, restaurants are always throwing away perfectly unused napkins, or including a bunch of them when you order take-out. I go through alot of napkins during my two allergy seasons. During my health class I learned that there are no anti-histamines which are both safe and effective, and mine is one of those, only partially effective. If I run out of napkins, I will use TP before I buy Kleenex. It also seems more appropriate if crap is coming out of your nose to use TP for it.

I use paper towels. Much more durable, and no nasty fibers to fly up your nose.

And Kleenex does not hold up to a nose blow. At least, not one of mine.

But mostly for ecological reasons, I eschew Kleenex.

I don't think they even make women's hankies anymore. What they used to make was so worthless, you wouldn't dare use it in public - except to dab your eyes at weddings & funerals.

I'll still stick with Bounty. It has the lasting power of at least a dozen tissues. :)

or even use a dirty shirt or something. Kleenex simply cannot and will not hold up.

And it's too bad about the women's hankies - women should be allowed to blow their noses in public just like men can.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

I ask every day "How can one man produce so much snot?"

I swear! I produce more snot on a daily basis than my total body weight.

Khash.

is melting

On day 3 of a horrible, snot-producing cold myself. It's absolutely wretched. I've been taking zinc lozenges since the 1st day, but it doesn't seem to be doing much good. And I've gone through a box of Kleenex already.

reminds me of oysters. :shrug:
