Preservatives can irritate the eye quite a bit if they need to be used daily or multiple times a day. Most people with moderate to severe dry eye are advised to use preservative free drops to prevent that.

Reply to comment by r0ss86 in TIFU by choking the chicken after my tonsillectomy by Fireblade09
I had it in middle school. I had to take my pain medication on time every time (every 4 hours), make sure to drink water to keep my throat from drying out too much (chewing gum was also helpful), and rest. Felt almost entirely better after a week, but after the first 3 days of sleeping, I was able to be up and about to play games or whatever.

If you don't mind reading on a screen, Libby is an app you can use with a lot of library systems to check out ebooks or audio books!

Reply to comment by sjk8990 in TIL that the USA uses 10x as much salt on the road than they do in processed foods, and was first introduced on the roads in New Hampshire. by madmansmarker
The EPAs website says that NaCl is most commonly used as rock salt, MgCl2 is less efficient so is typically not used, and CaCl2 is used only in vulnerable areas due to the expense of it.

How do you make your fries? Do you deep fry them, or are those baked/air fried? I have a hard time getting my fries to the right crispiness either in the oven or an air fryer.

Just tell the customers that you had a tussle with an obstinate turkey, and you can both laugh about it

It can be related to climate, genetics, or other diseases that a person has. Women also have a higher likelihood of developing dry eye due to hormonal effect on the glands' production. Lower humidity environments make the tear film evaporate more quickly, so even someone who hasn't ever felt dry eye may not be able to move to a dry climate without feeling it.
