I know this sounds ridiculous, but for about ten(ish) years, every time a big tropical storm/hurricane/whatever blows through, myself and a few others that I know get this insane sinus drainage, sore throats, ears full of pressure, headaches, pure sinus misery. The first time this happened I had no idea what it was and ended up with the first sinus infection of my life, both my eyes and ears were also infected. I was very young and healthy at the time, had never had any notable sinus troubles.

Now I know to expect it and I load up on zinc and echinacea with goldenseal. I still keep the terrible headache and non stop nasal drip for a few days but it doesn't go to chest pain and sinus infection levels.

I think they've been infecting us for a while with things, and not just the flu through vaccines. I've lived in one place long enough to not be able to say that perhaps the pollen blowing in from the storm is different enough to cause this reaction, and the other people whom I've known to have the issue are not related to me.

There was a conference with the military intelligence that was released with them discussing the god gene (a gene they isolated which showed one's ability to have religious thoughts and beliefs) and how they could vaccinate against it, they were focused on middle eastern terrorists, of course. This was early 2000's and they specifically said spraying into the atmosphere to infect people and then have them come in for a vaccine was the best way to do this.

It's all conspiracy and in my head.
