OK; this brings back memories! Went to West Edmonton Mall in 1985. Took the wife, 3kids, and enjoyed the wave pool! I was in the change room, and there were every ethnic race from the world there! Was fine at the moment, but, then went into the wave pool! You wade in, and, then the huge paddle pushes a huge wave towards you. The first wave that hit me, plunged up my nose. There had to be 150 people in there. When I left and had a smoke on the sidlelines (smoking was allowed then); I noticed the flavour was like strong Javex! That was 2pm. We left at 6:30pm and drove to Albertville, to stay with a nephew and visit. By 10PM, I was a frickin invalid; had the most intense fever, Javex smells, Nose/Sinuses congested etc. I woke up mid 2 or 3 AM, and the bed sheets were total soaked in sweat! But, I was freezing! Lasted 4 days, and continued on Holidays to Ft.McMurray to visit family! Got over it, but have had re-occurences over the last 25 or so years! Had a bout in April/2012, and again in Dec/12 to Jan.12/13, and still not out of the woods. It is a severe sinus infection, and when it hits, prior to your loosing your smell senses,
everything tastes or smells like Javex! It is a very bad infection, wishing you could die, is what it does to you!! Garlic sliced and eaten, Onion sliced top and bottom placed in a dish by your night stand while you sleep, will definitely help you! Trust me! I just came out of this bug! Not a hundred percent yet, but much better. And this time without antibiotics!! Used
Apple Cider Vinegar drinks with hot water and honey; steamed with this as well; and of course the onion thing. It works! Did not want any penicillin, cause last April/12, had it worse than now; had 20 days of antibiotics to kill this, but I know it didn't cure it totally. That's why I got it again in Dec/12. Missed a full week of work, but used conventional healing rather than antibiotics, so as not to allow the bug to become a Super Bug! It worked; The Javex/Chlorine taste is the onset of infection of the sinuses! Good Luck and Get Well.
