Hey Mike, do you think there's fallout in the nose spray bottles if you use glass ones? I use the ones made for homeopathic nose sprays, so they are tinted glass and the only plastic in it is the hose to the sprayer. So I don't know if I would notice fallout or not. I guess I could just refresh it anyway. Katarina
