Hung out with friends at the park today without masks and my immune system is angry about it so I'm slurping salt water up me nostrils.

My #Navage nasal cleaner. Basically a battery-operated, pressurized #NetiPot. Works great, but what they don't tell you when you buy one is that it has a mechanical interlock intended to force you to buy their disposable "salt pods". Thankfully you can easily defeat it by putting a piece of foil over the two switches, or simply holding them down with your fingers. Then just fill it with bulk 0.9% saline.

A Navage nasal cleaner. The device has a white and translucent cyan color scheme, with a removable reservoir on the top and bottom of the relatively thin main body. Two silicone ports poke out from the front, intended to go in your nostrils. A bathroom sink and mirror are visible in the background.Close shot of the Navage's opened filling port on the top of the device. A crudely-drawn red circle shows the location of the two interlock switches. This interlock is intended to force use of the manufacturer's single-use "salt pods", however it can be easily defeated to allow use of bulk saline.

The first neti pot is here!
This is the fruit of months of learning on the wheel and trying to get it right.

I have chronic sinus issues. I use of a neti pot daily. One would think that it would be easy to find a 304 or 316 stainless steel #netipot for sanitary purposes. There is only one that claims to be, sold by various distributors, but it is definitely not stainless steel. It is not ferromagnetic. I'm on a wild goose chase now to find or make one. So frustrating that we live in this #capitalist hellscape where everything must be subscription model, even damn neti pots.

This is the metal neti pot sold widely on the internet as "304 stainless steel". It is not ferromagnetic, a fundamental baseline for steel.

@Daveography @Jeneric
If you have it, a #NetiPot might help, after work. Once I closed things up and restarted my air purifier, my head was pretty happy about that. Skipping the #YegBike group ride I was looking forward to today.

In Florida people should “always assume” there’s a risk for Naegleria fowleri infection... When water containing the amoeba enters the nose, the organism can travel to the brain and cause an almost-always fatal brain infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis.

My search for a very portable travel bidet turned up these. They don’t squirt very hard,^1 but they’re a reasonable compromise of portability, ease of getting clean water, and ease of use. Just make sure it’s screwed in well.

I then started on my search of a good portable neti pot solution, since I’ve taken to using one if I’ve spent the day somewhere with too many unmasked people.^2
And then I realized I’d already *found* the solution. Tested it last night. Works great! Thank dog they’re color coded.

1. My first experience with a bidet was in a huge shared (but lockable) bathroom in a hotel in Quito, Ecuador. I turned it on out of curiosity and the spray hit the ceiling! That was fun.

2. There’s evidence that saline nasal flushing can reduce Covid duration--so I figure I might as well try it as a “day after pill” type solution. No harm if not, and now I’m finding I sleep better after using it too.

Three, color-coded, plastic tops that can screw into about any size plastic bottle. They have a crook at the top so that you can easily hold the bottle facing downward and use it as a portable bidet.

Is there some trick to using a Neti pot that I'm missing? I use distilled water and the salt packets you can buy at CVS. I pour half thru one nostril and half thru the other. And it does nothing that I can tell. My husband says it gives him so much relief, he can feel/hear his ears and sinuses popping and gunk comes out, etc. But it has never done a dang thing for me, which is frustrating bc I know it works wonders for some folks! #NetiPot #Congested #Sick #Sinuses

@beatnikprof @damonyoung my doctor, after recommending #NetiPot to me, also directed me to a YouTube video with a guy trying a neti pot with hot coffee and whiskey. Don’t know if it was real but it was pretty disturbing!

for all my other #spoonie people out there living that #sinusproblems life, i will pass along the tip from my mom's doc - you can mix double strength saline and use it in your #netipot and altho it's not as soothing, it will really help to dry things out so you can potentially avoid having to take a decongestant, which is nice, since the ones that work most effectively often cause anxiety/heart issues. but you still get to breathe, yay

does anyone who uses a #netipot have tips for making it more pleasant? i know it's good for pollen #allergies but man it is not fun to do. looking for #natural #medicine since I already take hella allergy meds
