not to be too odd or anything:

if your nose/sinuses are getting out of control, try something insanely spicey... beef jerky with chili peppers... or a little pizza with way too many of the aforementioned chili peppers...

I had a nasty little attack today at a home-show... sampled some beef jerky as described... and well, i could breathe again!

i know it won't cure the cold, but it may knock your upper respiratory tract back into shape.

be well!!
