I’ve been working through a virus for almost a full week and I’ve learned some things:

1) Gurgling salt water gets rid of that crazy throat tickle that makes a person cough uncontrollably.
2) Puffs facial tissue is magic. I went through an entire box in three days without the slightest irritation to my skin.
3) Nyquil does absolutely nothing for congestion. It cools your throat down and helps you sleep.
