The antidote to the common cold

I got this Sinus Rinse kit in my stocking this Christmas, and it is the best ever (thanks, sweetie!!!). Okay, so nasal irrigation doesn't sound all that festive, but really, I'm quite a fan. Previous to this kit, I was using a turkey baster and salt water in my time of need (I have a bad dust allergy) but the cure was almost as bad as the disease, in my opinion. The Dreaded Turkey Baster Of Last Resort. Anyway, this little kit makes the whole flushing of the nasal passages (which, apparently, is quite the key to fighting colds) tolerable. It have already tested it through my first cold which hit on New Year's, and it passed the test, though I have learned some intricacies of its operation that I'll apply for next time....
