the nose usually does a very good job at filtering stuff in the air, just don't rush in a cup of water directly in the sinuses

Yeah, you’re not supposed to use it when you’re fully congested because the water will just get trapped and sit.

There’s a bit of a learning curve and people hesitating can end up with the uncomfortable sensation of “water up your nose” but it really is awesome and life changing once you figure it out.

Same thing in Germany. Just checked — no warning anywhere on the packaging and I've never heard about anything like this happening.

It was from the water tank of an rv.

But also, the quality of water systems in the us are more localized to smaller regional areas and not uniform state wide. Especially not in a large state like texas.

Every neti pot I’ve ever had recommends either:

A) Warming distilled water and adding salt

Or

B) Boiling filtered tap water, adding salt, and letting it cool down to warm.
