Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis

Otherwise known as ABRS.

An inflammation (swelling) of the lining of the nasal passages and sinuses. Sinuses are those hollow spaces inside your skull that are located behind your facial bones. They're like a network of interconnected caves.

The staff here at the Platz has been knocked down by a bad case of ABRS which explains the lack of activity lately.

Hopefully the antibiotics will kick-in soon and things will be up and running like a smoothly wound Swiss watch.

Did you know that if you force a sterile saline solution into one of your nostrils that it will find its way throughout all of those caves in your head and reemerge from another part of your face?

Don't take my word for it - try it yourself...

  1. No thanks, that sounds like a pretty gross proposition! By the way, I was just beginning to wonder about your welfare, due to the lack of posts. I figured you were slowly working your way through the pantry of food to survive.

  2. It's pretty bad when you're too sickly to spend valuable time on the internet.

    I'm slowly feeling better.
