my people come from someplace thats very cold, very dry, and the largest plant is moss. i blew this thing outta my nose the other day that looked and felt like a yellow peanut m&m (but sadly when i bit into it there was no peanut). my advise is take what ever cold/sinus medication you like and then cram vicks vapor rub in your nose, i had some pressure today but it wasnt nearly as bad as yesterday.
