Haha....love the concern about the nose pickers billyboy...cos we know what a lot of the nose pickers do next!
What implications does that have for the nose-pickers amongst us?
On a serious note, this share is finally getting some traction. I was a holder of this in 2019, sold in Dec during a clearout before buying back last week for under 2p, I could see the way the chart was growing and with a solid business as the foundation, this appears to be heading in one direction for now.
Thank you GB, your hard work is paying off.
For them to tell people, never breathe through your mouth, only nose. And to wash your nose out... pmsl
What utter drivel. So all sports are finished and anything which makes you breathe heavy, life simply can't be handled that way.

If we stop and think about how the virus is transmitted and how the virus travels through our bodies, we can more effectively prevent an infection. I believe there has been some critically important information that is not currently being disseminated.
First line of defence
We are grappling with the various different masks that we have to wear depending on the risk assessment. But what is far more important is how we breathe when we are wearing a mask and when we are not wearing one. First and foremost, nose breathing is our first line of defence against any unwanted particles as it acts as a filter.
The vast majority of potentially harmful bacteria, micro-organisms and pollutants will get trapped in the nasal mucous. As a result, anything inhaled directly into the lungs can potentially stay inside for up to 120 days.
Please consider this when talking to your patient. You should at all times slowly inhale though your nose, then speak and then exhale slowly out through your nose. Remember when you are mouth-breathing, you are bypassing your natural respiratory defence. If you are mouth breathing behind your mask when operating, you are increasing your risk of infection.
Why are we not washing our noses?
Now, let’s consider the latest evidence informing us about how the virus travels through our bodies.
The virus first establishes itself in nasal cells. Research from the University of North Carolina indicates this is where the virus starts. The receptor on the host cells that COVID-19 requires to attach itself is most abundant in the cells inside the nose. These receptor cells are far less abundant in the lungs (Hou, Okuda, Edwards)
This is not an open door to ignore my previous information and start mouth breathing to bypass the nasal cavity. You would potentially introduce large volumes of COVID-19 directly into your lungs. But what we should be considering is how can we provide additional measures to prevent infection in our nasal cavity?
If we are washing our hands, why are we not washing out our nose?
Recently a company in USA called Xlear who manufacture xylitol based nasal sprays undertook research at the University of Geneva and the University of Utah, which looked at whether any of their sprays had an effect on COVID-19. They discovered that the xylitol and saline nasal spray which has been on the market for 20 years and has the ingredients, xylitol, saline and grapefruit seed extract is effective in killing the virus.
In conclusion, breathing through our nose whilst wearing a face mask and when not wearing one is key to preventing a COVID-19 infection. Be extra careful when speaking not to switch to mouth breathing. Please also present this information to your mouth breathing patients.
