Sounds like you know better than I. Thanks.
NEWPORT, Ore. (KMTR) — The Newport Oregon Police Department is notifying the public that they are not to call the emergency line simply because they ran out of toilet paper.
“911, what is your emergency?”
“My neighbor was coughing bad, then collapsed in his yard and looked just dead. But now he has gotten up, moaning and calling for a plumber.”
“A plumber?”
“Yes, over and over he keeps calling out ‘Drains!’”
Per my ENT Doc, and

But I only offer my experience.
Bless you.
Thanks.
The link you provided says is may cause irritation. I have used plain table salt for 12 years now and it apparently doesn’t bother me.
I had 3 surgeries in 2008, and they had scraped my sinus literally down to the bone to get rid of an ‘inverted papilloma’, which is essentially a ‘wart’ growing in your sinuses. First surgery was by my ENT here in town. he removed enough of it to allow me to breathe thru my nose again. It had grown so large that I could not get any air thru my nasal passages and had to breathe thru my mouth!
He then referred me to a surgeon at Shands Hospital docs in Gainesville Florida at the University of Florida, GO GATORS!, who took TWO surgeries to get the rest of it which had been embedded in the bone!
The papilloma had gone thru the bone wall that separated the two sinus cavities and it had to be removed before it got into my brain pan.
I now have ONE huge sinus cavity instead of two. My own voice changed to my hearing because of that. I lost my sense of smell because they had to remove the tissue that contains the sensors for smell. The surgeon said it was a 50/50 chance I would ever get it back, but I did about after 6 months or so. I could not smell a damn thing!
Eventually they grew back and it took some time to get accustomed to smelling stuff, because nothing smelled like it was supposed to, as I remembered it.
I threw away a full bottle of cologne because I thought it had gone ‘stale’, but when I bought a new bottle it smelled the exact same way!
Even BACON frying smelled ‘different’ for a while. It was like I had to learn smells all over again! Which is dangerous because we use gas for cooking, heating and water heater, so I had to ‘learn’ what the smell of a gas leak was all over again.
But now, after 12 years it’s all back to normal!..............................
I never want to hear a horror story like this ever again. I'm glad you recovered.
I was so devoid of the sense of smell I ate some WASABI (Japanese Horseradish) and it did not even faze me. Foods of all sorts had no taste to me.
All I had were the ‘basics’, salt, sweet, bitter, etc.................
