@kamarla Very good point. To avoid irritating hairs I use a drawstring tea bag inside a Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf Tea. Works well. I also take mucinex, Brinsupri along with very strong mullein tea. Seems to keep things in check but hard to know what's doing what. In any event, placebo proven to be effective!

PS - I purchased Frontier Co-op Mullein Leaf, Cut and Sifted - Dried Mullein Leaves from Amazon
