@minkeygirl - I tried one several years ago. The good news is, it didn't hurt me at all though it sounded rather strange. The bad news, it didn't seem to do much for me. However, it's possible I didn't use it enough. I think I only tried using it a couple of times.

From what I've been reading @Mary it has a cumulative effect so you have to keep using it. I think all of us have a tendency to give up too early if we don't have immediate gratification.

I'm not sure about this. It's much easier to pop a claritin.
