    When I come home from being among people, I blow my nose and wash my hands + face, and I feel like that helps, too. I mean, logically it should help, since I’m physically removing bacteria and whatnot.

    But yeah, I don’t know, feels a bit weird that we’re only telling people to wash their hands, when airborn bacteria/viruses are a thing…

      Blowing my nose can trigger sinusitis, I do nasal rinsing instead. Though if you have a deviated septum, you need to be careful since it may flow out of the same nostril it came in.

    Water did better than medicine? Couldn’t see at a glance if it was statistically significant though.

    What about mouthwash? Lol
