I could n't make it stop , I had to spit it out every couple of seconds . I much rather prefer a simple cold , than " eating " mucus . Then , this past night , I went and did something that I hate , sniffing water through my nostrils . It hurts like shit for a good half hour , but in the end it gives my mucous membrane some much needed moisture , so that instead of the mucus running down my throat , it actually exits through the nose .

Question: What would have happened had you not used the device to ' wash ' your mucous membrane ?
Answer: I would have not felt quite so uncomfortableI would have taken medication insteadI would have continued to have the mucous exit down my throatMy nose and throat would not have hurt as much as it did
