Been Sick and High Surf

Yep. Sick. Again. It's just a theory, but I think I've gotten sick a lot after surfing in red tide in 2003. After that, sinus infection and ear infection that lasted a month. Ever since, I've gotten sick at least 2 times a year. Oh well. It's the price I pay for something I like to do. So far, Mother Nature 10, me 0. That's not to mention my tooth-breaking board incident.

Anyway, southern California was hit hard over the last two days with big surf. Someone was even swept away while standing on the shore. Not a good thing at all. Surfers and bodyboarders were out in full force at all the breaks, trying to catch the action. Some surfer interviewed for the news said it was the most epic it has been in 20 years. This include Big Wednesday from the winter storm of 2005.

Back to the whole surf thing. I think my sinuses are still filled with red tide stuff which makes me quite susceptible to colds and such. Has anyone tried this nasal spray? I'm thinking it might be worth the small investment if it does what it says it does. My nose used to drain soon after a surf session. After red tide, it drained an hour after. Once I got the sinus infection, I'd be lucky if my nose drained at all. If anyone has tried, please let me know.
