First of all, to say you are perfectly comfortable with a cold is to suggest that your remedies are perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect remedy, including Zicam. Whether Zicam is better than your remedies, I guess you'll never know. Fine. But it is rather silly to suggest you don't care for Zicam because you have already found the perfect remedy.

As for the bottle reinfecting the user, this is wrong. You cannot reinfect yourself during the same infectious episode. The virus is already in your blood. Zicam simply impedes, but does not stop, the takeover of your own cells, so your body is not overwhelmed, thus allowing fewer antibodies to manage the infection. True, you can infect others if you share a bottle of Zicam, or Neosynephrin, or any other nasal spray, of which there are many. The point is, if you don't care for Zicam based on the spray delivery system, based on a reinfection concern, then you are lacking an awareness of one the most popular means for delivery of cold remedies. Nasal decongestant sprays are among the most popular cold remedies on the market.
