One thing that helps is to warm up the water slightly so that it matches your body temperature.
- AlbertCory 5y agoMaybe. Once I neglected to mix in the saline - bicarbonate powder, and did it ever burn. I think that's what makes it less nasty than getting water up your nose when you're swimming.
- quercusa 5y agoLikewise - that's a mistake you'll only make once!
- seattle_spring 5y agoDumb question, but how do you warm distilled water in a sterile fashion without fully boiling it? I wouldn't trust using my kettle for this since I typically use tap water, but maybe it wouldn't matter?
- PhantomGremlin 5y agoAssuming you are using the squeeze bottle method, as the below linked comment says, put 8 oz distilled into the plastic bottle, then nuke about 25 secs to reach approx 100 degrees F. After you do this a few times you will learn exact amount of time. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29375614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29375614
