Vicks first defense nasal spray.
Felt a cold coming on Wednesday so tried it and it works. Burns your nose like fuck though. The cold didn't take hold and I can go to the Manchester bash tonight. Woo!

And I have half a day off. Yay!

I wonder if it'd work now?
I've had this for three days now and I'm generally a patient man, but I'm currently considering cutting off my nose to spite my flu.

Oh! I think it only works at the begginning of a cold.
I can usually tell when a cold is just about to start.

it does work a bit even later in a cold
certainly helps alleviate symptoms for me. and yes, it does sting to use it!

it's basically flushing the cold out of your nose
