If I understand your dosing, you got good results with a total of 12 sprays per day. At 50 mcg per spray, that is a total of 600 mcg per day. I am sending...

Is that why, one evening a few winters ago when I was shoveling tons of snow, all of a sudden I could smell. What a way to get your smeller back! Looks like...
