In Response To: Salted Sinuses = sinus infection (Brian Nystrom)

That, and getting back to work, sounds like the most reasonable suggestions. I'll pick up a noseplug too. Thanks!

I find that getting water up my nose invariably leads to a sinus infection.
: Fresh water is especially bad, but salt water is a problem, too. Yes,
: rinsing your sinuses with a saline solution can be beneficial, but the
: solution contains much less salt and none of the bacteria, algae,
: protozoans, fungus, sand, pollen or what-have-you that sea water does.

: If you have a problem with sinus infections, I suggest that you carry a
: bottle of saline solution in your car, so you can rinse your sinuses after
: surfing.
