Ack, A Summer Cold

[2dogs]

Now that the sun is out I'm sick. Dern summer cold has me blowing my nose 100 times a day. The last two days I have been spreading straw after a small vegetation management job and that hasn't helped one bit. Tomorrow I have to chip (I think) redwood. Just what I need, more dust. Gotta find my box of masks. Poor poor pitiful me. I need to get back to the mountains.

Yeah dust is a killer with a cold.

Whenever I was near salt water, I found that some good upside down time with the head in the water helped a cold go away.

I do miss living near salt water.

I just got over one. I'll be bleaching the computer screen.....

The formula that works for me is 2 benadryls at night before bed, and claritin in the am along with a couple sudafeds, but thats for allergy relief. Salt water up the nose during sinus infections works wonders too.

So you want me to go swimming upside down in 50 degree water with a cold? Thanks but I like staying vertical.

I don't think it would be salt water up the nose, more like booger sugar

 

[coastalfaller]

I've got one too! lol.

Sorry to hear you are ill Bill. I haven't had a cold or flu in over three years, I got bee stuff from the OMG in NM, it works.
If you find a hippie store, they will most likely have propolis.

Redwood is bad, the bark is organic asbestos, the wood itself, while not that bad, can cause problems.
My Bro had big chunks of Redwood dust, bonded to pot resin, removed from his lungs. He worked at PL's planer mill or as I thought of it, the place where you lose your breath, hearing and fingers.

I use green tea with locally processed honey whenever I feel the crud coming on. Have you heard of a neti pot? I have been looking for one. A friend says they are awesome for anything sinus.

I guess my "cold" was the precurser to the flu. Don't get between me and the bathroom! And my head is killing me!

 

[RandyMac]

Damn.
Is it in your lungs?
If it is.....

try a glass of hot lemonade, with a spoonful of honey and a shot of whiskey.

Skip the sugar, but not the honey.
