Well, at least the article referred to it as "alleged health problems". Given the unknown health conditions of complainants, what other things might have caused their anosmia, or what other things this handful of people have stuck up their nose, it is difficult to know how serious this threat is...."Avalanche of lawsuits" may be a bit of an overstatement... but it sounds great.

Re:<<The main health question in the Zicam spat concerns whether zinc-based products such as Zicam can permanently destroy a person's sense of smell by inducing a medical condition known as amnosia.>>

Amnosia...what exactly is that? Just a guess but sounds like a condition of failing to remember where one left their nose....or perhaps forgetting the last thing someone shoved up their proboscis...

Re: <<Nasal Spray>>

Yeah, this fellow did a thorough job of research on the product before writing the article. But hey, we got Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart and Floyd Schneider in on the act so what else is left...except maybe a few Dennis Kozlowski's for good measure.

If it were me, Don Meredith would have closed with a throaty rendition of "Turn out the lights, the party's over". I can't figure out why MTXX doesn't just throw in the towel with so many super sleuths on their case.
