The idea with the gum and lozenge is it gets the zinc directly onto the tissues of your mouth and throat which are the most affected by the cold germs you're incubating in your sinuses. Fighting them on home ground, as it were.

Cold-Eeze also makes a lolllipop for kids. I use them and think they're ok on taste. But sometimes they can make me nauseated. They only work for me if I get them in the first day of suspecting a cold.
All four of us have colds right now--everyone is stuffy, noses running and coughing. And we have no Cold-Eeze.
Lowes delivered a working dryer for us today-so yay! Dry laundry!

I can't take the zinc things. They make me ill.

Plei is me re: zinc. Cold-eeze makes me instantly nauseous.
And OH MY DEAR LORD that girl's eyes are dangerously adorable. There should be a warning label.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Yeah, I tried a zinc lozenge once, and could not handle the bad taste. Yuk!
HMOG, yes. I can't even describe how bad the taste is.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lillian is absolutely adorable.
Jessica! You used to have a vegetarian Cinncinati chili recipe up online somewhere. Do you still have it? My sister's friend is going veg, and asked for the recipe (I made if for my sister a few years ago), and I can't find my printout.
