My beef with Kleenex

[hanselthecaretaker]

Ok, I have allergies; hayfever to be more exact. So bad at times that I'd welcome being knocked into unconsciousness at that exact moment in time before dealing with the excrutiating miserableness any further. I just got some more Claritin D but in the meantime there will always be instance where an allergy sufferer will inevitabley have to blow his/her nose. And that's where my discontent with what's used to do this with lies. No matter what type of Kleenex I use it seems to only incite further bouts of sneezing, because it is made primarily out of the same fucking particles that can cause allergies in the first place. So naturally it turns into a viscious cycle of swearing and puffy-eyed, pissed off, sniffling springtime hell. The more Kleenex you use the more Kleenex you have to buy. I tried wetting it down even but that doesn't work. I suppose I could just blow my nose into my own fucking hand but that'd be pretty gross and I'd have to keep washing them.

Well it seems Claritin will become my favorite springtime candy once again.

It does the same thing to me. I use paper towels. They don't have as many of those linty particles. Makes my nose really sore though.

Get Puffs with lotion

 

[Mr. dB]

Puffs are much worse than Kleenex, as far as releasing "tissue dander" goes.

Even the lotion one?
The lotion one does pretty good for me.

Do the Contractor Blow instead....

LOL, We used to call that the farmer blow. Press in on one nostril and blow out the other in a big stream. Had a guy on my baseball team would do that all the time.

It's in the urban dictionary as farmer snort.

I do it when I'm skiing & always get chastised.....

 

[heatherrae]

That is so unbelievably repugnant! LOL.

Yeah I've tried every logical and even some illogical solutions but I'll just have to wait for the C-dog to kick in. I'm havin a Sam Adams Summer Ale before bed so that might help too.

Have you tried the Kleenex with lotion? It's much less "dry" and there are many less particles that come off that thing when you use it (I know exactly what you speak of and it does suck).

BTW, Claritin sucks. You need real medicine. Come to DC, I'll take you over to my Doc at the Institute for Asthma and Allergy. They rock there.

I'm using the lotion stuff now. It's soft but flakey. And yeah, that institute sounds awesome, worth a trip to stockpile some anti-hists. Oh yeah, and to meet you I'd be armed next spring! So long allergies
