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.

Gotta learn to use disposable gloves for application and then keep your hands away from wherever you put it. It doesn’t burn your knee but it does help freee it up. This one lasts a good while and a hot shower the next day or you expose your knee to warm sunlight, will remind you.
