as a matter of fact ...
my mom is constantly hammering me to quit smoking. failing that, she sent me one of those little mint spray breath
fresheners (called "Sweet Breath" ... contents listed as SD alcohol , water, glycerin, flavor , saccharin and sorbitol) ...
but i used it once as a dutiful son ... actually during a small 4 or 5 ch (you know how you'll try anything?) ... and it seemed
the CH was gone soon after that!
not to be fooled by the bastard, i assumed it was either a fluke or just coincidental that the CH must've been about to end
anyway ... not that the spray had anything to do with it. so of course, i tried it on the next CH expecting nothing. you know,
as incredible as it seems, i think getting that strong strong mint waaaaay in the back of my throat (i spray it back there
where the pain starts on the CH side) at least opens the CH nasal passage ... and it really seems to help.
in any case, i always carry one of those spray thingies with me now. sometimes it doesn't work so well ... but it's sure
cheaper than imitrex spray!!
thanks, mom.
