Comment:
Have taken Echinacea for years to fight off common cold with excellent results. When I get that scratchy feeling in the back of the throat/nasal area, I start taking Echinacea and usually do not get the cold. Works very well and is pretty cheap.

Comment:
My eyes feel like they have poison oak. The contact person from Herb Pharm was very defensive. I was also taking Black Elderberry so it is difficult to discern which one causes my horrific symptoms. Just don't bother calling Herb Pharm as they aren't interested.
