Hi Shifrah Thanks for your post about chilis. So, youre saying that the chili can work both ways either as an allergen, or for allergen relief? I hadnt come across the nasal spray before, but I have heard that capsaicin pads are effective in for pain relief. I also think you make a really important point about hand washing were too complacent in this respect still, despite the proliferation of hand wipe gels in public places as a response to the swine flu threat! Im fortunate enough not to have allergies myself. But I am a science writer trying to get to know this area finding out more about peoples experiences, latest research, what works, what doesnt and so on. Ill be back to find out more about your ideas and tips. And I think Ill make a chili vegetarian! this weekend like your idea of using more than one kind of chili. Susan

We've tried that at home – only thing that helps us when we have a cold.
