Hank - a couple of things come immediately to mind. I get a minor burning sensation when I use Zicam while my nose is already irritated, but not as severe as you describe. So I'm wondering if you squirted it too far up your nose, instead of just inside your nostrils as one should. And don't inhale it. Also, I believe I confirmed with Howard Epstein once that the stuff is absorbed very quickly, so after pinching your nose for a minute (or even less) you should feel free to blow your nose. It's much more comfortable to use the stuff if you are able to start before your nose is running that much, obviously.

As far as the cost is concerned, an independent non-discount pharmacy near me sells it for much less than you paid. But keep in mind that the same bottle has enough stuff for more than one cold, depending on whether you use it every 4 hours or more like every 2. Personally, if I had to pay $15 or even $20 for a bad cold to be gone in 3 days, I'd do it gladly. -Eric
