I was in two minds whether to post it, definitely a good price for the product and the season for it but:
a) the eucalyptus in this can be super uncomfortable when sprayed in the nose
b) despite the marketing of ‘clinically proven’ not sure if there’s evidence that it works (maybe a doctor or pharmacist can comment.) Studies of different kinds of zinc have showed it’s not effective not sure re Zinc EDTA, Zinc Acetate
c) some forms of intranasal zinc can cause loss of smell, not sure about the type contained in this product.

Regardless a whole lot of people seem happy with this product, so if you were thinking of buying this anyway it’s a good price.

  I think its supposed to only for just inside the nose, not up your nose

    Yes I believe the design was changed after people started permanently losing their sense of smell.

      Wow is that true?
      I decided to try this and it says to spray on an angle towards your ear and not to breathe in when spraying.
      I’ve not done it but if you were to spray it straight up your nose and breath in like you do with decongestants it would most certainly sting.

    Thanks for this. I would have done this completely wrong and used it like a saline sinus spray, I can see how this has not gone well for some people.

  I swear by this product.

  Do not inhale, or just breathe gently.

  My wife has had two nasty head colds twice this past year. I've been unscathed while using this.

  Good against insects / huntsman as repellent around entry points / shoes ?

    Your nose should never be an entry point for a huntsman, let alone a shoe.

    I’d recommend this for a household eucalyptus spray. https://www.bigw.com.au/product/bosisto-s-eucalyptus-spray-2…
    Definitely not to be used as a nasal spray

  Well i used it 4 days ago. I started having itchy throat and definite felling of incoming cold or flu. I used it on very first night and then continued for 3 days in a row. Once every night. Seems to be cold is not catching hold and i may have averted a irritating sickness by using this product. Although not certain this was because of this product or natural
