One quick shower and Bed Head will rinse right on down the drain. Cold Head, on the other hand, is just there. No matter how much blowing, sniffing, or cold medicine you take, it hangs on. Fuzzy, and sore, and swollen. First clogging things up to the point of near suffocation only to suddenly let go of rivers of mucus at the most inopportune moments. Jamming up ear canals so that everyone sounds a million miles away, but your own voice echos like you were in a vast chamber all alone. It creates such intense pressure you are absolutely positive your eyes will pop out of their sockets at any moment. Surely they must be visibly bulging for all to gape at in horror. Oh and the nose...Rudolph ain't got nothin' on a Cold Head nose! Raw, parched, and so red it can been seen clearly from space - all you need is a green hat and your holiday decorating is taken care of. Soon Bed Head will be joined by his brother Froggy Throat. I can already feel the Frogger knocking at the door - those first little tickles, teasing with the promise of impending doom that will soon reign down on the only path of nourishment. And then the wish will be made - if only starvation worked faster so that an end would come to the misery that is Cold Head.

Ugh.
