I recently saw on the news that
people were getting very sick and some have even died from brain amoebas! They said
this was happening because they weren’t using distilled water in these’s Neti
Pot’s. It says right on the box to only use distilled water. So if you do like
these pots, please make sure you are using them the right way. You can read all about this here.

If you know anyone that like's to use these pots, make sure you pass this news onto them. I'd hate to hear of any of us, or our family and friends becoming sick because of this. Enjoy your day ladies and stay safe!
