I used to think the worst thing about the desert was the starking lack of vegetation, but it seems there is a new contender: dam boogers.

Dam Boogers
Every night, I wake up with Scotty 2, maybe 9, times. Since "allergy season" began, I have noticed a very disturbing phenomenon. My nose is completely clogged with very dry, hard boogers. So, once I remove those the best I can, something else happens--my nose starts to run. It's as if those hard boogers were my snot dam and once removed, my nose becomes an undammed snot river. Not a good thing for someone trying to get a baby to sleep. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I the only lucky one?

hilarious! I can't say I've had that problem, but reading about it made my day.
You know, I started wondering about you when I read the title to your blog post, but now I am just laughing. Can't say I've had them either, but I seem to be blessed to not be having respiratory issues right now like the rest of Santa Fe. Good luck!
Well, having dealt with many nasal passage issues since my surgery, and also living in a dry climate, you have my complete sympathy. (I also hate the dry little ones that get stuck up there) I like using the nasal spray bottle to keep things moist up there, and I've heard that Jessica uses the Neti pot for the same purpose. Of course, I have the advantage of my sinuses being one big empty space! That makes it easier to rinse out. Good luck, Becky! You won't be in Sante Fe forever!
Oh, man. I have had that happen a lot. I get the whole spectrum of snot issues this time of year. Ugh. Good luck.
