Listerine?? That's a haircare product!

What? NO!

Reminds me of the time my grandmother mistook Dippity Do, a hair gel, for a face mask gel.

She didn't have any wrinkles!!! Her face tightened up tight. Real Tight!!!

My husband and I irrigate every day. Usually it is for our allergies, but if it is effective against Covid, all the better. "

My best friend's husband was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx and pharynx several years ago, and has to irrigate with salt water every night.

Hot Toddy Wuhan man used alcohol to help cure him

Perhaps doing this as soon as you get home from shopping or in the car after you have been in the grocery store will help.

In the alternative, you could suck on a zinc lozenge.

It’s all about trying to keep down your viral load

I take zinc and quercetin about once a week as a preventative.

Quercetin is a zinc ionophore like hydroxychloroquine. But it’s over the counter. And also found in the white stuff under the skin of Oranges.

I brought it up because of Pee Lousy’s remarks about how harmful Lysol is to the human body.

I used this poppers back when they were on the market in the store. There has to be some reason why they were pulled. NOw you can just buy them on the website.

Might help..also might damage your nose if you do them too much

I don't know how long that takes. If you breathe only breath in a couple of particles, that might take a while. Breath in a lot and it's probably instant.

The body is a hostile environment, and the vast majority of particles are defective. The upshot is it usually takes thousands of particles to become infected. In the case of nCV-2019 it's usually minutes to hours of inhaling air from an infected person producing normal amounts of droplets through breathing. If the other person is speaking or singing or yelling they will produce more droplets.

Yes, I always use distilled water, and nuke it in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave. Then into the Hydro Pulse along with the salt, then fire that bad boy up.

I have an older version of this:

Dawn, the dish detergent, breaks down fatty and oily layers, better than most household cleaning agents.

Nice! I used to use a water-pik with a soft attachment on the sharp irrigation tool. But I have found that I control the pressure better with the simple squeeze bottle. I will certainly look into other modes of irrigation, if Walgreens stops providing the packets and the new squeeze bottles.
