Episode 09: “The Hysteria Cure”
If you’ve ever had a cold or seasonal allergies, you’ve probably experienced a similar uncontrollable slow-drip feeling. An oozing, if you will. Well, now imagine you can’t sniff or blow your nose. You just have to let it… do it’s thing. All day, and all night… for a week.
