The wickedest allergy nasal spray ever

I was struggling with my allergy symptoms. It's ragweed and mold season... I spent every evening after work in my gym's steam room just to open up my sinuses enough so I don't have to live on Advil because of the headache they caused. I've seen a doctor, got new pills and they helped me a lot.

But from time to time my nose got congested, and I finished up my nasal decongestant spray so I went to shop for a new one. For a reason these are on the bottom shelf in the pharmacy and there're plenty of them. So I squat down and was browsing through the selection when I found one that had all the answers:
  • Helps with runny nose (I'm using allergy nasal sprays so this is not a problem)
  • Sneezing (Same, no symptomps)
  • Nasal congestion (That's my problem right there!)
  • Headache and sinus pressure (Yepp)
  • All natural (Whatever, even cocaine is natural and it definitely fixes your clogged nostrils! Along with the headaches! But I can't afford them o_O Hm, that gives me an idea. Maybe I can get it prescribed. I wonder if my HMO would cover it! $10 for a monthly dose sounds like a deal!)
  • No addiction formula (Wow! That's cool! It's always a problem for me to get off these after my allergies calmed down. It takes weeks juggling between nostrils to finally be able to stop using these and still be able to sleep through the night!)
Great, I've found the perfect fit. Ups, it's double the price as all the others! Well, whatever, maybe it's so good, and that's the reason.

Things I didn't see (small print on the box) however were deadly. Let's see if you can spot them!


The box I found had the picture of chili in smaller size. And the word 'homeopathic' even smaller!

No addiction formula my a**! Who's so stupid to develop a habit of spraying chili in the nostrils?! I'm certainly not, and probably if I asked 100 random people they would agree! And homeopathic to me means two things: it ain't gonna work but it's expensive.

$15 thrown out the window. And it doesn't even unclog my nose either. My headache however is certainly gone in a second as the burning nostrils from chili provide a much stronger sensation for sure...
