Ack, I’m awake, eating breakfast, my nose is itchy.

I can’t afford an itchy nose right now.

I have capsaicin gel for my creaky knees. Applied some this morning, actually seems to work/help! Just about time for another dose.

But, it’s awfully persistent. Washed my hands afterwards, and then had a strong itch on the side of my nose.

Got a mild case of ‘chili nose’ by scratching it.

There’s only a tiny amount of capsaicin in the gel, but it’s enough to spark flashback of being tear-gassed, if you’re not careful.

Use gloves.
