Lightbulb hmmmm....

You know when you get an upper respiratory thing/infection, it is typical for the cells to keep producing mucus long after the infection is over. This can be for 2-4 weeks.

I have some misgivings about OVER use of the Netti pots. Basically tears and other secretions contain natural antibiotic substances, and washing them away with chemicals seems rather harsh and non productive to me.

Certainly if you get a snoot full of dust/ or other chemicals from the environment, a netti may be helpful. But 4 times a day? The burning side effect, I would pay attention to..and avoid whatever burns. I think Cathie you could be overdoing things. just my opinion.
