| Be careful with vaseline and Vicks in the nostrils. Prolonged use can cause lipoid pneumonia to develop. It’s especially risky to apply it and then lie down to sleep. Believe it or not, small particles of vaseline/vapo rub can enter the lungs. The body cannot dissolve petroleum jelly in the respiratory system so accumulation can happen. Lipoid pneumonia is extremely difficult to remediate since it is not a bacteria. It is inflammation caused by a collection of oils that the lungs cannot break down. Just an fyi from my physician.

| No, Vaseline for dry nostrils. I recall using Vicks when I was training to become an EMT, we had anatomy with a cadaver and a lot of us put Vicks in our nose. Small aside, I have also used Vicks in the nostrils of stallions when there are mares in estrus around; usually saves you from dealing with an excited stud horse.

And if you don't know what it is, cephalosporins and steroids will cure it. Dermatology is easy.

It is so fricking dry here its unbelievable this early. Its bad.
Year round, it's 35% humidity inside my house. I have three humidifiers running 24/7 except when I do I do maintenance like air-dry them every 10 days. I still have humidifiers in every room in the house but I don't run them. I thought I could run them and saturate the house to 40% humidity and then they'll run intermittently. Did not work; they just kept running.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
