Zicam has passed the Macworld test. Didn't have a cold at Macworld this year! Granted, staying healthy could have been influenced by other factors: healthier relatives over the holidays, less crazy New Year's Eve, more exercise, flu shot, and lack of Stevenote anticipation. OTOH, had plenty of exposure to sick co-workers. Felt the potential onset of a cold a few times, but proactively attacked it with Zicam Oral Mist, and Zicam Gel Swabs. The mist staved off initial sore throat feelings, and the swabs smote the sniffles. Zicam will officially be awesome if it prevents illness before, during, and after the trip to D.C. The Zicam iPhone app reports that 14% – 16% of the country's capitol is affected with respiratory illness. Eek.
