Sometimes when your sick, working out while ill leads to pneumonia.

Even in hyper healthy marathon runners.

MY MIL used this when she got RSV last year. It was a game changer. Worth every penny.

The "why don't people save money and just work out" is good for a chuckle because its partly true but as the air gets dryer you're still going to have inflamed sinuses and probably your nose is gonna get dried out from sucking in that much dry air.

But there's plenty of things you can do. Alternatively you could just eat something spicy (or actually most food gets my sinuses going, but spicy gets it flowing), which well you can probably just sniff some crush pepper or other as well. You can also work on taking deep breaths when showering. And if you have mucus built up in your throat, gargle some water (and shower head can double as a water pick as well).

If this is too expensive and you already have an electric (probably not a great idea to do this over a gas source) tea pot or other (steam cleaner, clothes iron), plug it in and boil/steam up some water. Just be mindful of how hot that steam can be.

And for the netti pot, you can just cup water (as someone else mentioned, distilled if possible) and snort it (and exhale it, you don't really want to get a lot of water into your lungs, you basically create a push/pull mechanism) or get one of those dropper/plunger (where you squeeze it and it inhales the water) things and spray up in your nose. They also make little squeeze bottles of saline solution to squirt in your nose (I know Wal-Mart carries some under their store brand, its cheap like not even $1 I think?) for on the go relief.

If you're prone to your nose drying out, get a q tip with a bit of vaseline (less is more here) or Vick's (if you're stopped up), or just some oil and work it around your nose a bit. More effective and less prone to getting the Vick's on your clothes/blankets compared to rubbing it on your chest.

Unless they're wiping it down with something that would disinfect its not like wiping it down will do much and that goes extra for anything airborn. Not saying you're not aware of that and its just further reinforcement of how inconsiderate those people are rather than it being about the transference of germs.

I do believe you can find shrouds/hoods to accomplish exactly that, but you really don't even need it, just lean near and breath in as you vent the steam, could throw a towel over your head as you lean over so as to try and concentrate it. But any excess will go towards humidifying the air in general, which has some benefit.

I've actually wondered why someone doesn't make/market like distilled water cartridges to use with vapes for a blast of targeted steam for this exact reason (plus it'd give cover for the addicts that would want to have an excuse to hit their vape). They probably do (have a hunch there's ones with "essential oils" and other supposed health wonders), and if I remember I searched for such and there was something about how the vaping mechanisms are inefficient for this and that it can actually wear them out. But a decent amount of that stuff is straight up disposable now.

I should clarify, I mean pure water, not vape juice as while that probably does help with some relief, the long term impacts of the nicotine and other is not gonna be a positive.

Just make sure to do those sick workouts at home. Always drove me nuts the number of people that would be at the gym sick and never be the same people wiping equipment down.
With Covid back on the rise I don't understand why anyone would still go to gyms.With the money you save yearly on gym membership you can get some inexpensive equipment.

Quote from wordfool :
Why not? You realize the tap water is boiled to produce the steam, right? We're not talking sinus irrigation with room temperature water here (for which you should use distilled or previously boiled water), but sinus steaming
Our tap water has both calcium/magnesium and chlorine (not chloramine) in it. While the chlorine will outgas over time (or boil off before the water does), the un-vaporizable minerals will form a hard white coating on anything that water is heated and/or dries on. It's specifically a problem for boiling water to produce steam - we use wick-style humidifiers. It's not quite as bad if you only boil some of the water before dumping out the remainder.

Ever since the pandemic, distilled water has been subject to "supply chain shortages", ie, "not high enough profit margins year-over-year to bother stocking", in our area.

One thought occurred to me about the gross sticky residue - the menthol solution they used to sell to pour into these, which I presume bears some relationship to the "Vapopads", was mainly mineral oil.

I think I spent 3x as much on this years ago and I don't regret it. Only thing that could set me on the right track after severe sinus congestion/headaches- hot showers and tea are great but just don't get the job done as directly and effectively as this.

I have many electric kettles sitting around. Wonder if I can rig a silicone cover to convert one into this?

That's what I've been doing but it's not very comfortable and sometimes singes my sinuses. Thought I'd give this one a try.

I just purchased this and returned immediately. They are mostly used and the steam is very less. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I use a humidifier every night. Best way to keep your nose and mouth from getting dry. Position it right and you'll be good.

Neilmed sinus bottles are the best sinus cleaners I've found. Squeeze and get it through both noses.

Save your money and just grab a sports bottle- can even grab a water bottle with the squirting lid.

Ordered, tried and returning it. Such a low steam gets out of this machine. There might be better product out there. This one is not good.

This deal is good however I believe MABIS steam inhaler is good from having additional essential oils option (eucalyptus, campher etc) and not a proprietary one like this deal. Price at Amazon is $31.51 as of this posting which is $1.60 more though. I am using this for past 5+ years.

It happens in a lot of warm climates. Some places if you urinate in certain waterways bad things can swim right up there, ouch!
