I recently found out that a good friend of mine is {*filter*}ed to using
nasal sprays.  Could someone provide me with pointers to some general
information on this?  I'm concerned that this could lead to some kind
of long-term disfunction, if damage has not been already done.

If you have archived articles from past discussions, I'd appreciate
receiving copies via e-mail than burden the network.  Many thanks!

I used to drive a forklift for a living (yes, it's been a checkered
career (-: ).  I noticed at the time that many of the people I worked with
made frequent use of nasal inhalers.  This puzzled me somewhat -- I
figured they couldn't _all_ have colds _all_ the time.  Naive soul that I
was, it took me some weeks to realize the contents of the inhalers had
nothing to do with their labels.  {*filter*} was the cause of the constant
sniffing. )-:

My father was treated for nasal spray {*filter*}ion.  The doctor told him to buy a
certain brand of nasal spray (I can't remember the brand now) which comes
in different strengths.  I think it's a mixture of spray and saline
solution and the percentages are clearly marked on the packages.
He used them in decreasing strengths for a certain number of weeks on
each one until he was no longer dependent on them to breathe.  As far
as I know, he hasn't gone back to using them.  He had been dependent on
them for as long as I could remember, something like 25 years.
