I have read about that and I believe it. It explains a lot of the problems that I have had all these years. I have so much pressure in my nose and can't blow it plus have pressure in my eustacian tubes. I have had to have a tube placed in my right ear 4 times since I was 55 years old. I can also see how it can swell and cause so much pressure and also drain. I have had some infections that my ENT could not put a name to but he knew I needed antibiotic. Bet there will be a lot of new diagnoses for some people. meirish

This is very interesting.   Like Irish (and maybe most people here?) I have a problem with pressure in my nose, and it's terribly dry.  Thank you for posting this.

That might be a reason that hot and spicy foods trigger a runny nose for some!

Very interesting, I guess that there may always be something new under the sun afterall! Never know what research will turn up next, and the biggest discoveries are very often accidents.
