Mind blown by the pharmacist today. Leaving this here for anyone who suffers from hay fever, allergies, sinus problems etc like I do.
The pharmacist, not my regular one, explained how to use this nasal spray I've been prescribed. I rolled my eyes - who doesn't know how to use nasal spray right??
"Right hand, left nostril; left hand, right nostril," he said. "You have to cross over to get the angle right. If you go same side, it just goes down your throat. You want it in the sinus." How was I never told this?!

What a friggen waste.
On a side note, if I use an expired RAT and the single line appears, does that mean it actually worked and the result is valid? #COVID19 #WesternAustralia #Perth #Boorloo #covid19aus
