Nasal Problems While You Fly
Amongst all who fly, there are enough possibilities of developing cold or respiratory infections. It is because of the combined failure of mucus and cilia to remove inhaled viruses and bacteria in the normal manner to channelise them to stomach for annihilation by the stomach acids. In the confined atmosphere of aircraft cabin, the air inside the cabin has a low oxygen and humidity level. The effect of such dry recycled air has its impact on the nasal mucus which gets dried up and thickens making anybody inside the cabin, vulnerable to the exhaled germs of co-passengers and exposure to respiratory problems.
Researchers have developed nasal spray to counteract the problem. The spray contains moisturizers to moisturize nasal passages and deal the bacteria and pollutants that inhabit confined aircraft cabin]s recycled air. In doing so, it restores the mucus-cilia combine to function in its normal manner against all sorts of airborne infections. This type of buffered alkaline saline nasal spray has also got some special features incorporated in it. It also contains ingredients to help clear blocked ear and provide general relief to sinus troubles also.
It is advised that the nasal spray must be used by a flyer before boarding the plane and also use the same at a gap of two hours during the flight. The flyer should also use it after landing for some time, to fight against any contamination that he may be carrying with him. One must know that these sprays will not make you a regular habitual user by its use during the flight, so there is no problem from that angle and can be safely used as and when necessary to guard against potential infections of serious nature. All said and done, these nasal sprays are really a boon to frequent flyers of today.
