Comment:
I use a nasal spray/rise called XClear which contains xylitol, and it is very effective in keeping sinus infections at bay! I used to have one or two a year but don't have them much at all anymore. Helps with allergies, too, especially if i've been around smoke of any kind.

Traveling a great deal, I spray my Xlear twice in each Nares before take off and after landing. I never get sick on airplane. My nose is moist and I breath easier, no earaches during landing and take-off! Used to suffer during and after flights

Comment:
Xylitol nasal spray caused horrible hypothermia like side effects for me and my adult daughter. My daughter convulsed so much with the chills that she strained a neck muscle. I've heard that this only happens to dogs and sometimes fatally. We each used the spray once and had hours of discomfort with a complete inability to get warm even with the heat turned up to 82. Can't find any mention
