I think we may find eventually that other virus infections do similar things to our brain. Perhaps some, or much, of dementia is due to a lifetime's accumulation of the results of virus attacks. It's a good reason for having all the vaccines on offer. We should be due for No.4 covid vaccine soon, I guess.

Shame, I know one pf my friends can’t, but steam works quite well. I use steam as olbas oil makes my eyes stream

I am surprised. It was the GP many years ago that to,d me to put two drops in a steam inhalation.. i find on a hanky it really does make my eyes water. I often put one under my pillow if I have a cold, that seems to work

I'm sure it's OK if you are using a bowl of hot water and towel to inhale. The problems arise if any droplets of oil get inhaled with the steam. I'm an Olbas user myself.

Gloria wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 08:58 Himself much the same as you Kev, and still testing positive. I seem to have taken a couple of steps back, phlegmy, headachy and aching.
