I'm sure your all familiar with this;



But, did you know IT CAN KILL!!!

Two people in Louisiana died recently after using their Neti Pots with tap water that had a brain eating amoeba in it. The amoeba (Naeglaria Fowleri) is harmless unless you get it deep enough into your nasal passage.

The bottle things work the best. They're fuckin nasty tho. When all the mucus and snot and shit get forced up one nostril and out the other it makes you wanna puke. And when you're REAL stuffed up it can sometimes comes out your tear ducts a bit because the water has nowhere else to go - if you squeeze the bottle too hard. Also don't be lazy and use cool water cuz that hurts like a bitch.
However, when you're done it feels like you're breathing through your nose for the first time in your life, until 5 minutes later when you're stuffed up again. But the more you do it the longer it lasts, especially if you get medicine to put in the solution.

Why the fuck do people buy into this shit? Humans have been living for thousands of years without a fucking neti pot or ear cleaner because you know how our face is supposed to be cleaned and regulated? by itself. Your body naturally cleans itself out without these shitty products. mucus is good for your nose/nasal passages and throat, and earwax is good for your ears. It is there because it is supposed to be there. I hope you do die if your dumb enough to buy this crap.

Using it on a regular day basis is pretty stupid and pointless. If you have a cold when there is a lot of mucus in your nose it could be considered the next Messiah.
