Vicks First Defence.

Has anyone tried this? Did it do any good?

TIA. x

Yes I have tried it several times. I used it as soon as I felt that soreness at the back of the nose which is often the onset of a cold. It always seemed to work for me, but there is always a chance I wasn't going to get a proper cold at all, one will never know. The spray is not particularly pleasant and can leave a burning sensation for a few minutes - but I would give it a try, it certainly can't hurt.

Thanks Daisy. I have already bought some, as a friend is very positive about it.

Fingers crossed it'll work for me!

I have also tried it. Again, i would back up the previous answer in that it did seem to work, but you really do need to use it the very first moment you notice a tickle in your nose or throat. Which means it is no use waiting till you get home to use it if the tickle starts when you are out.
So i have one in my handbag, and another at home so that wherever i am, i can get to it quickly.

I echo the above comments.... I always carry one and ensure I don't run out. The one time in the past few years I didn't use it when all around me were sniffing and sneezing and my throat started to itch, was the time I went down with a heavy cold .... and a nasty vicious bit** of a bug it was too !

Oh yes I recommend it definitely!

[eash]

Correct me if I am wrong......but aren't we better off GETTING the colds......then we build up a natural resistance.
Hi mrs.c

I think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

You have to use it IMMEDIATELY you get the first sniff/tickle or it doesn't work.

Hey, thanks for replies folks.

Pasta, I seem to suffer from continual colds all through the winter months, so I'm hoping it might help to hold one or two off!

BTW, hi lass!
