My wife has been complaining about my breath for quite awhile. The badness recently disappeared and I couldn’t point to why. Then I remembered that I went snorkeling and I used goggles, not a face mask, so I got quite a bit of seawater up my nose. Google claimed that blocked sinuses could indeed be a source of halitosis, and since my snorkeling was the only variation I figured sure, why not.

To maintain the lack of badness I bought a nasal rinse kit.

I just did my first treatment and man, if I had any secrets, I’d tell.

Snorkeling is an interesting way to find out about the benefits of a nasal rinse! Due to sinus issues I learned how to irrigate/waterboard myself as a kid and use it intermittantly now to clear things out as needed. One critical point for anyone following along is don't use tap water. Be sure to use distilled or previously boiled and cooled water to prevent an infection or bacteria getting into the brain. Can be serious/fatal but easily avoided.
Should be under reloading and load development…
To build on the reloading theme...

Reloaded ammo: Bulb syringe or neti pot with salt (DIY, very effective)

Factory centerfire ammo: NeilMed with pre-mixed packets (convenient, very effective)

Rimfire ammo: Arm & Hammer Simply Saline Nasal Mist Daily Care 4.5oz (extremely convenient and quick, less effective but enough for maintenance)
