Inside the Little Plastic Castle

This particular bottle & xylitol made a daily-neti-snorter out of me. It's very squishy, so not much force creates a non-painful stream of water.

My neti setup is at home, and (happily) I'm never exposed to fragrances there. So I don't have any post-exposure data for you.

My theory is that rinsing knocks back the level of allergens and other contaminants. I can handle a little bit of fragrance on a good day; I'm choosing to believe the neti makes for more "good days."

I'm delighted that 3M redesigned their 9210 N95 respirator so that it uses covered elastic instead of a bare rubber band. It's much more comfortable. But on super-sensitive days, MyGuy modified one to use 1mm elastic cord--pry open the staples, thread cord thru with knots on both ends, smash staple back. These fit even better with glasses & hat.
