This is interesting. I was wondering if anyone is working on something similar meant for nasal area? Chronic sinus infections, thick mucus and various other annoying nasal afflictions could possibly be solved by something like this?

I wondered the same thing, and came across this guy who has been documenting his experimentation and purported success with self-administered bacteria from kimchi... https://lactobacto.com/2019/01/17/what-else-can-lactobacillu... :)

I have no idea if people are doing this yet, but I would love to find out more. Doing a nasal rinse with Xylitol can break down thick and lodged mucus to get things moving again. Also lactobacillus sakei seems to fight off sinus infections according to some.
