There's a study indicating that a cheap nasal spray that is already on the market (for allergies) can reduce Covid 19 infection risk by ~2/3rd, and also reduce other respiratorial infections. I'm somewhat torn between "too good to be true" and "any reason I shouldn't immediately buy and use this?"

Anyone happens to know if there's any easy trick to bypass an Incapsula "security firewall" that thinks downloading with curl/wget is an attack to be prevented? (It's not just the user agent, I tried that.)

I went down a rabbit hole trying to understand some health issues, and I ended up with an idea for a study that involves Espresso and heart disease risks that would be relatively easy to perform and could help make more informed health decisions.
