If you are waking up with your nostrils dry, you need to get a WARM mist humidifier for the bedroom.

Yes that and it's important not to overheat the house during the winter --- I've seen people with their thermostats set on 80 degrees --- and that is sure to dry the air out plus is just too much a shock on the lungs when they do have to go outside.

Wonder if that would work for me ?

Guess I'll never know ;-)

Some friends of mine are overly clean, and they wash themselves in bleach! Yet they are sick all the time. They are always at the doctors.
I say as long as you just wash your hands, and eat healthy, you'll be fine.

Exactly --- the worst thing you can do is destroy your normal flora --- the benign bacteria you have all over your skin. People who use antibiotics tend to get sick right away when they stop taking them because they disrupted their normal flora --- bleach would do that also. Nothing a pathogen likes better than to have zero competition.

Avoid breathing. It's worked for me.
