Yes, I've had the nose thing happen, and I'm afraid of burning mucous membranes, which are sensitive! I have a "neti pot" that I use for allergies in the Spring, so I use this use to irrigate my sinuses and throat to hopefully neutralize the acid and reduce the horrid smell. Nothing worse than being awakened from a sound sleep and having to deal with this. Best to eat nothing for 2-3 hours before going to bed, I think.
