I did not know this about nasal sprays so sharing here in case any of you also did not know it...
"If you taste it, you waste it!"
When using a nasal spray, make sure you’re looking down “nose to toes,” and point the spray out and towards your ear. Do not snort the medication. Just breathe normally.

Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major #SARSCoV2 variants.”
“In preclinical studies, spray offered nearly 100% protection from respiratory infections by COVID-19, influenza, viruses, and pneumonia-causing bacteria.”

When I catch a cold, I will most likely also end up with a raging, painful sinus infection that only a 10-day course of antibiotics will kick. Even then, I might relapse & end up sick for a total of 6 weeks.
It's a BUMMER.
#DeviatedSeptum doesn't help.
So I'm always curious about preventatives, hence my question about #ProvidoneIodine #NasalSpray.

Nose Sprays: A Last Line of Defense in a World Hellbent on Giving You COVID.
In the fight against Covid (SARS-2), nose sprays haven't gotten much attention. Everyone's been yelling at each other about the big three: masks, vaccines, and clean air. So it's worth asking, does any of this stuff work?
Most people we know have completely lost their minds over the last year and decided their sole purpose in life is to give us Covid so that they can get back to a normal that's never, ever going to exist again. Depending on where you work, you're either pressured to drop your mask, or even forbidden from wearing one. Vaccines don't reliably prevent infection and inside air for the most part is as dirty as it ever was. In a world this nuts, it's only logical to want some extra protection.
None of these sprays eliminate your risk. Most people who use them also wear masks and use air purifiers whenever they can. With so much Covid in the air, it's nice to have another tool.
To get the most benefit, you need to use these sprays before and after you go somewhere. Every spray comes with its own instructions, but they all suggest using them 2-3 times a day. The idea is to make a barrier in your nose to prevent the virus from latching on and replicating.
There is also evidence that these sprays can reduce viral load during the active phase of an infection, so don't give up using them if you do test positive.
