Re: Recall: nasal spray decongestant
Posted by dd on 3/21/04
I have no idea, but I had walking pnuemonia after exposure.
I refused to take the nasal decongestants that were given to
me because my symptoms got much worse after one dosage.
Most of these sprays contain steriods of some sort and that
is an immune system supressant. Saline water is best. Guess
I'll get the pharmacy company nazis after me now. Just
kidding, sort of.
Are you referring to the nasal spray itself being
contaminated with this bacteria?
You are speaking to someone who has been poisoned with
chlordane twice, once by landlord who worked at chemical
company and the other time by Terminex. Dioxin and a couple
of others were in the mix.
