Survivalist Tip: We’ve reached another milestone in the countdown – less than a hundred days to go before the apocalypse. Battling these allergies all year long has made me realize the importance of something else: nasal sprays. Along with eye drops, this will be another essential element in your arsenal of supplies. With the sudden reversal of the Earth’s axes and the chaos in the environment, there will be plenty of dirt and debris flung about. The same stuff that will clog your eyes and cloud your vision will fill up your nasal cavities. That won’t just aggravate the crap out of you; it could induce panic attacks, even in the hardiest of survivalists. Not being able to breathe can ruin a really good day – and in the midst of the upheaval, you won’t have too many of those anyway. Nasal sprays come in a variety of forms, many of them over the counter. Others are prescription strength, but obviously are more costly. All decongestants have such ingredients as oxymetazoline, xylametazoline, fluticasone and azelastine. Don’t worry about pronouncing these words; just know that they all reduce inflammation of the sensitive tissue lining the nasal walls and dry up loose mucus that forms in reaction to all that pollen and dust. Stockpile as many bottles of nasal sprays as you can. Clear nasal passages just won’t help you breathe better and therefore, relax more; it’ll help you sniff out things like chocolate and wild deer.
