One of the local BOTLs had a massive clogged sinus problem...
As he is a SWAT team member at one of the local prisons, he has access to industrial strength pepper-spray...
It worked for him....
Here is what he posted about his experience:
As some of you may know I suffer from Migraine headaches. Haven't had one for about two years now! Knock on wood!! I still get the visual precursors or the off balance precursor but no headache. Well after the CC herf I notice my throat was sore. I thought perhaps 2 churchills might be to blame but no! I had caught a cold! Sore throat and the like. So today Tim comes over and I smoke a couple of sticks and that brings up all the oysters hanging about! A good thing but the sinus pain was leading to a migraine....
What to do...Back to work and really don't want to take four 12.5 hour shifts of to sit and be in pain....
SO I dragged out a close to empty Mark 9 OC gas canister. This is the size of a fire extinguisher not the little kid size units you see on cop duty belts. I had a left over unit from a training video I made on use and policy. This is a large scale unit. I knew it emptied nasal cavities like Rosy Odonald empties a hot tub party.
Figuring this was going to lead to a migraine I thought WTF. So I sat out back in the dark and turned this bad boy into my face from about two feet away.
Now lets put this into perspective. Getting hit with this crap full face eyes open on an inhale is akin to bobbing for apples in a deep fryer! Sure it won't kill you and for the first 12 seconds that is the problem not the good side of the coin. So with a full monk retraction of the boys I depressed the trigger.
Whoosh Apollo 4 takes off on my face. I drop the unit and fall off the steps and reach for the cool wet towel which providea about as much relief as a moist towelette in hell! I had caught a full inhale spray so the nasal passages were closing about as fast as your dates legs when she hers her Mom come in the room! I swear to god a ****ing smarty I tucked up there at age nine ejected fast enough to leave a mark on my thigh!!
Rolling in the cold wet grass and trying not to make too much noise the mucus discharge could have got me a role in Xtro!!!!
But 15 minutes later I was clear as a bell and having no sinus pain.
Here's hoping my testicles drop before the weekend!
I need a cigar!
