Happy Monday ☕💕 

Do you use Nicam nasal swabs? They’re used for poking deep up the nose, in the way that we advised against doing at home all so recently, and are marketed as a remedy for colds. Anyway, dangerous fungus has been found in all lots, so there’s a nationwide (USA) recall. Stay safe!

In today’s email we cover avoiding glaucoma, migraine mythbusting, and getting the most out of tretinoin.

If you take advantage of the discounts to treat yourself to state-of-the-art rowing machines from today’s sponsor Hydrow, you can enjoy immersive virtual reality to row on the world’s most incredible waterways, mountaintops, and more.
