Nothing clears out the sinuses better than a power drill. No I’m not kidding.
Obligatory, I’m a professional sideshow performer. Don’t try this at home. If you do it wrong you WILL regret it
Well, I didn’t, but now I won’t be able to stop thinking about it when I get a cold.
Thanks a lot, jerk, I was happy in my ignorance!
The knife hands person got me and now I’ve got you with this.
Suction machines are used to remove excess mucus from the sinuses and throat in medical settings. The public should not use these machines because you can accidentally stimulate a nerve in your throat that can cause your heart to slow, beat irregularly, or stop.
What the fuck? Why does such a thing exist?
Underclocking. That’s how you edit BioS.
I’m guessing this is the vagus nerve he’s describing? Longest nerve in the body, and the effect being a vasovagal syncope.
I have had this nerve stimulated by severe gastrointestinal issues twice, and the effect can only be described as dying haha. I’m being hyperbolic, but I swear both times I passed out felt like the end.
Complete lack of strength, cold sweats, weird hearing issues and then passing out into a fencing response, convulsing, and then waking up within 30 seconds, no confusion, completely aware of what just happened and how much it sucked. Different than a seizure.
Fun fact:
one of these pass outs were at the beginning of an international flight while seated in an exit row. The flight hadnt even taken off from the airport. They even let me stay.

And be sure to use distilled water… That House episode will always live in my head.
Is there any benefit to collecting it in a second tank as opposed to just letting it drain into the sink?
With the Navage you can save it for later instead of letting it go down the drain!
mainly that you don’t have to worry about doing it over the sink or holding it just perfect so the waste goes in the sink and not on the faucet or the cabinet or whatnot. I personally prefer just emptying the waste container. Also it tries to force you into its proprietary pods but there are plenty of jury rig ways to make it work with your salt solution.
The point is the suction; I’m not sure how they’d get decent suction just dumping the waste instead of having a closed second tank.
A neti pot with boiled (not boiling) salted water is great! In one nostril, out the other, and after 10 crappy seconds, my stuffed runny nose is clear for hours.
A little baking soda to lower the PH takes away some of the unpleasantness. With the right PH, salinity, and temperature, you barely feel the water flowing. You can also add just a drop of baby shampoo to help clean out crusties.
If I can give you one piefe of advife: don’t put it on your tongue.
What about those things they have for sucking the snot out of congested baby noses?
I imagine they would work on anyone as long as the top is wide enough for the nostril.
There’s also this one if you’re feeling like a really uncomfortable moment with a friend.
Physics be damned I’m going to nosefrida myself

No?
Every time I get a runny nose it’s all I can think about.
Get some surgical tubing.
One end up the nose, the other in your mouth. Don’t forget to spit before you have to swallow.
What key top press to change the boot order?
That’s like the nose equivalent of ear candling. Just stick with the safer advice, would you?
Ear candling is fake thought. The candles have all that nasty stuff built in
Try squirting salt water. No, really!:-)
I wonder why that works?
I just asked copilot. The salt water has a couple of benefits over pure water; it’s less irritating to mucous membranes, it thins mucus more effectively, and it has modest antimicrobial effects.
Don’t trust copilot though.
