You know what sucks?

I just got an order in from MrSnuff and I have a Chest cold and it has moved up into my head. I can’t smell shit so what the heck should I do? The snuff I got is 100gr Ludwig Sternecker Straubinger Schmalzler and Echt Fresko. And Poschl Sudfrucht 100gr and Doppelaroma. I got a couple snuff bullets guess I’ll put some McChhryatals English Menthol in it. At least I can smell that one, lol. edm

I actually had the same problem today, except it was just a stuffed up nose… Not with snuff lol. I went to the grocery store and I picked up something called “Dristan” . I got the mentholated kind too :wink: . Basically it’s just some nasal spray, “fast acting reliev of nasal congestion up to 12 hours”. And it worked pretty good for me today. I even used my snuff afterwards when it wasn’t all plugged. Anyways, that’s just my suggestion. Worked for me, hopefully works for you!

That SAME THING happened to me when I ordered all my WoS’s a month ago. Wanna know what worked for me? CLARITAN. about an hour after I took it I could breathe and actually smell my snuffs. Pöschl Ozonas clear me up too but we all know that it only makes it worse in the end! great for TEMPORARY relief tho… lol

@MikeMoose BE CAREFUL with those nasal sprays, a lot of them can be as addictive as narcotics. I’m not kidding, do a little google search of it and/or hear about it from guys on this forum. Try to avoid any nasal sprays that are more than just Saline Water (Salt Water Solution), or get Advil Sinus Congestion it works pretty well.

@giaach A big +1 on that. I know at least two people who got “hooked” on that stuff. One must be careful with it. That’s not to say it doesn’t have a place, but I personally prefer the saline solution. I use the neilmed stuff in my neti pot as I find the otravin saline sprays have a gross smelling preservative in them. I have ongoing sinus issues, but when I am really stuffed, it’s herbal medicine for me — Sparrow cool and a hot toddy!

The nasal spray can be addictive eh…? That’s crazy. I only used it like 2 or 3 times today. I will be careful though. How is it addictive though? Will my nose become congested without it kinda deal? (How you understood that lols :stuck_out_tongue: )

@MikeMoose, that’s what happened to me – congestion unless I used the spray. It’s easy enough to get over though, just live with the congestion for a couple days and it’ll clear up. @mustangii, sorry to hear about your inability to enjoy the riches. Hopefully it’ll clear up soon and you’ll be able to get down with the good stuff. I hate colds!

Nice thing about Claritin, you can just roll them up your nose, no need to grind it up and make a spray out of it. You do know that Claritin is a oral pill right? Nasal sprays just make you a nasal spray junkie, I threw all of them out ten years ago, talk about a instant dependence. Nasal spray is instant bad JU JU. And if I ever want to need to use nasal spray, I would sniff Poschl!

well a little clearer today, was able to use the snuff bullets with McChrystals mentoll and Clove. not going to use the others till I’m clear. My Father mixed up salt water, hung his head of the edge of the bed and filled up. Blew his nose acouple times and ready to go. Of cource he was addited to Vicks inhalers, yuck. edm

Of course the Maker’s 46 bourbon I have been drinking makes the cold easier to bare. edm

NEVER use nasal sprays for any length of time! I began using them when I was 10 or so due to a bad case of sinus congestion. I’m now 25, and I only stopped a few months ago. It really is that bad. I tried stopping a couple years ago, and did for a few weeks until I got another head cold. Used it for one night, and back to the same problem. It’s not worth it in the long run.

3rd shoot of bourbon, Been useing the clove and menthol snuff. Good combo. edm

That’s what I was thinking. In my next order, I’ll just get some menthol snuffs too! :smiley:

Everybody handles colds differently, but I’ve found that any medicine just weirds me out and dries out my sinuses. My best cure for a cold is a hot bowl of soup, a hot shower, crawling under the covers and whimpering and feeling sorry for myself. Works like a charm…

When I have a cold I just snuff and take comfort in my role of spreading the little guys around (the viruses). It makes me feel like some kind of ocean liner or airplane. Like I’am helping them see the world. Of course I’am just being weird for weirds sake right now.

Well, we’re all here because we’re not all there…

@Whalen Whoa hold tha phone!!! I hope that bit about stickin Claritin up yer nose was u yankin our chains! If not, I’m seriouslt outta tha loop!!

@mustangii, bourbon and clove sounds like a great cold treatment! I hope you’re coming back around by now and enjoying the rest of your collection. When I get a cold I take symptom suppressors like a crazy man because I’m such a pussy. And then I just sit around and feel sorry for myself until it goes away. Fortunately I haven’t had a cold since I started taking snuff, so I don’t know how that would affect my joy. I think it’d screw it up pretty royally though. @bob your image of self as an ocean liner for viruses is hilarious! Almost makes them seem friendly. The little bastards.

I’am actualy starting to think that snuff users may not actualy avoid colds at all we may just bbe asymptomatic. Like we have a cold but since we’ve been getting the suckers out of our noses it doesn’t get too bad for us. Symptom suppressors are not such a good idea most of the symptoms aren’t the virus at all but our body getting rid of them. You can actualy make it worse for yourself by takeing them.

Heads clear now, stuff in the lungs is breaking up. should be good to go tomarrow, been snuffing poschl-schmalzler sudfrucht, fruity goodness.
