yes yes me
dd and dh both as ill as fuck before xmas
I used the nasal spray and the hand mousse and I was fine. OTOH I could just have been immune I guess.

Glad to hear it.
Obviously, I am only fishing for anecdotal evidence on this, lol!
I've been using the foam for some time, especially when out and about.

I always use it and it has always worked. I use the nasal spray and wash my hands a lot with hot water and soap. I don't think I have had a proper cold for over a year.

found the spray keeps me from getting whatever kids have. recommend it

It makes my nose bleed. shame really.

bramblebooks · 30/12/2008 08:24

yes. I use the nose stuff when I feel the first tickle of a cold coming on. I also use the foam stuff - especially when supermarket shopping this time of year. Am convinced we'll all end up with ocd!

nickytinseltimes · 30/12/2008 19:25

oh, goody, more success stories.

it must be good for you as it is truly horrible after you use it , but far less awful than having a cold, that's for sure. Not surprising that it causes nose bleeds.
