It makes sense that one would want to apply zinc to any area that can be infected by a cold virus. This means Zicam in the nose, and some form of zinc in the throat.

Shouldn't the products be used together, to block more of the entry points?

I used Zicam last week (cold lasted 3.5 days), and each time I used it, I would end up swallowing some, after sniffing it back (if I had a clear nostril at the time).

Does this have any effect in the throat or sinuses, perhaps negating the need for zinc lozenges?

Another question - do any other viruses infect via the ICAM attack? Does Zicam block them as well? I'm thinking of STDs, or even AIDS. Sorry if this has been brought up before.

Thanks
