Tips on nasal irrigation:
Use distilled water. Do NOT use regular tap water or water from the shower to irrigate. You don't want bacteria or amoebas in your sinuses as this is a direct line to your brain.
Use the proper saline solution, designed for this (the aforementioned packets dissolved in the correct ratio of distilled water). Do NOT use straight water, it hurts, a lot.
I have the Nevage nasal irrigator machine and it's amazing. If you have an FSA card (in the States) you can use that to pay for it. Works wonders if you use it regularly.

Did you sell a shitty computer and get called out?

I once was owed almost 700E by a friend which he refused to pay back for two years. At that point I was tired of it and decided to message some of his family members through fb, the next day he brought the money to my house. So depending on the situation this can be extremely effective.

Try doing a small sharp exhale while squinting your eyes and shaking your head side-to-side once or twice. (Kind of like what you would do if you just walked through a swarm of gnats and you think one might have gotten in your nose.)
If you are a full-body sneezer, the dog might think that something bigger is going on when you sneeze. What I described above is much more subtle, and easier to control/adjust to communicate with the dog, without startling or exciting it.

You're correct that it's a common marketing message but that doesn't make it less true. And honestly, it doesn't seem like it's something that "everyone" already knows about. I know plenty of people who have ended up with little to no help with common travelling snafus.
As for being situationally dependant, that is why I did specify trips involving layovers and checked luggage.

Dogs sneeze to indicate they are playing. E.g., they may bark and grawl and also sneeze to say it’s for fun not threatening

Like the other comment said, it is incredibly dependent on every individual's situation. I don't think this is an LPT because insurance is something that is well known and heavily marketed to you whenever you travel
> for me the peace of mind alone is worth it
Yeah! That is a part of every insurance advertisement or marketing piece you will ever see!

Try taking an Expectorant like guaifenesin, I also take Zoloft and can’t take any decongestants.

It's also assuming the scammers relations are good people or give a fuck.

It's very considerate. You brought the smell to them instead of making them get up in there to try to find it themselves.
