Still Testing Positive

Someone on my upcoming cruise said to use a nasal saline rinse in your nose to get rid of the old cells, etc.  I'm no doctor and I have no idea if it would work to help "clean ya out" but it can't hurt.  

 

There have already been a couple of small studies to see if saline or nettie-pot lavage or OTC sprays like Flonase impact rapid antigen tests.  Consensus seems to be "no."  The lateral flow tests are sensitive enough that you'll still test positive.
