Got Allergies? Beam Some Light Up Your Nose.

by Chad Mumm on May 12, 2009 at 05:28 PM

We come across a lot of 'interesting' gadgets here at Switched HQ, but the Sneezerbeam has us especially confused. Spring is here and you're probably suffering from allergies. Not anymore -- get yourself a Sneezerbeam and jam the device up into your nasal cavities; it will blast your sniffer's cells with beams of concentrated light to keep them from releasing histamines, which trigger allergy symptoms.

We're not sure how light will affect your nasal cells (unless you're belting them with lasers or UV rays or something), and you're sure to look like a goober wandering around the office with backlighted eyeballs and electric protrusions sticking out from your nose. Still, if you feel compelled to give it a go -- and you live across the pond -- you can buy it here (alas, it's only available in the U.K.). [From: Dvice]
