Had never even heard of the squeeze bottles. Thanks for sharing, Arnold!

Hi back,
Yep but……the plastic throw away after 2 months, squeeze bottle is safer than a netti pot. Please use the bottle. I had eye surgery yesterday, or my note today would have been more verbose.
Netti pots …no .

Love ya’ll

Arnold

Thanks for reminding me about the neti pot. I always use one when I’m sick but it’s a good prevenative tool, too. For anyone who’s unfamilar with neti pots, you can read more here: https://www.webmd.com/allergies/neti-pots#1

To be fair, I don’t normally encourage the idea of staying away from other people. Nor do I do it myself…except when I’m sick! Thanks for mentioning the idea of coughing (or sneezing) into your elbow. It’s a really thoughtful thing to do. I’m trying to train myself into that habit right now….

I hadn’t thought of that, Pat, but you are quite right. Thanks for mentioning it!

Your advice is right on, I agree. Three people in our home for Thanksgiving got stomach flu that lasted through the weekend. Coughing into your elbow helps a little.

Morning and night, purge the nasal cavity with Neil Med or like versions. Even when you feel you are just fine, lazy or aw shucks my immune system is top of the genetic helix, …but then the gotcha happens. For hands, keep them off the face, out of the nose, ears, lips and teeth. Sound familiar, common guys you know who does that, especially when driving the car and you think nobody is watching? Alcohol on hands does not do it. Some of you know this one. Use DAWN straight, washing over and over while singing Happy Birthday to me twice. Surgeons do that, why not you. Next, get straight BIOFLAVANOIDS, from Puritans pride CA, the best, deals are constant. Take three anytime three times a day for two days to start and then one three times anytime. Constantly rebuilds damaged and shmutzig cells (free running radical paste). Tip if your are pregnant or a weight lifter that does not have a good trainer, hemorrhoids and hernia, injured muscles, ligaments, constipated (we are grown ups) take six BIOFLAVANOIDS three times daily for two days and healed. Should you get a FLU, Bronchitis and such follow the 6x3x2 and healed. The NIH offers up the notion that the most common cause are hands on and in face parts. Working in GHANA for three years my team never got sick. Every Saturday we drank an eight ounce glass of tomato juice with a tablespoon of black pepper, the juice of a lime, and teaspoon of salt. Nothing can live in you with that cocktail. We had a rule, no alcohol. Drinking alcohol, body sweat (perspiration for the ladies) attracts bacteria. Yes, you can research it. Three years on the job, not one problem. I hope you get some help from my experience. Sick days, off hours, slow low moods, not allowed in my business. The reporting must go on. The general public counts on us, as a reliable, responsible, predictable, accountable source to inform. Thats the job. Stay well, healthy, happy and enjoy the process. Good luck.
