i'm a temporary believer in zinc, too, though i prefer the lozenges to the hard pills and i've never heard of lileks' technique of "sticking a glorpy zinc-soaked swab up my schnozz". i felt a cold coming on the other day so i knocked down a couple of zinc tables first thing in the morning and by afternoon i was better. it was great. except for the part where i took them on an empty stomach and had to pull over on my way to work and barf in the woods next to lake of the isles. that part... not so great.
