Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?

I’ll admit I’m a sample size of one with no counterfactual, but I started using Vicks First Defence about 4 years ago and in that time the few colds I’ve had were much briefer and milder than they were previously.
It’s a kind of mega-mucus spray that performs the same mechanical action as snot to physically get the virus out of your body, only a lot more aggressively. It’s briefly unpleasant to use but usually worth it. (I am not paid by Vicks)

I usually try to take on sicknesses as natural as possible so I’ve never come across this first defence stuff but it does look promising from what I’m seeing, I really only get colds (starting to think what I have no isn’t a cold now though because it’s been kinda severe) once every 4 or 5 years but I’ll give it a shot next time if I remember.

I think it’s good for people who don’t like taking drugs because technically it’s not a drug; its mode of action doesn’t rely on altering your body chemistry. It’s more like a powerful nose flush.

I promise I’m not a bot. People really don’t seem to like it when you say you like something huh.
