Quercetin, Bromelain and Zinc

I think I’ll look into the valerian too. 

Not too sure about those hot peppers though. I’m a crybaby when it comes to spicy food.  I grow some really hot peppers every year, mostly because I think they are pretty. My husband eats a few but I end up giving most of them away.

When I was young, my Dear Old Dad used to raise hot peppers every year. He would get two or 3 new varieties every year to test, and the hottest peppers out of the garden "won", and had seed saved back for the next year. over time, he managed to gather some pretty hot pepper stock. Every year, he would can them up in quart Mason jars. Whenever I'd go home, I'd eat them by the quart, and then pay dearly for it for the next 3 days or so, but that was when I figured out they'd keep my breathers cleared out.

I've also been known to get Taco Bell "Fire sauce" packets, and just eat the sauce straight out of the pack. Does the same thing. And I have drawn the occasional fearful (for my sanity) look by eating hot sauce sandwiches...

My husband likes to test the peppers too. On any unsuspecting person that happens to visit during growing season. Usually it was our daughter and the neighbors daughter. He had no mercy lol. Both of them love spicy food though I’m guessing it’s because he dosed them with those hot peppers every year. 

You sound like my husband with the hot sauce. I think he would enjoy one of those hot sauce sandwiches with you.
