Charles Hensley and his colleagues at Gel Tech thought the solution was as plain as, well, the nose on your face. Why not skip the mouth and spritz the zinc directly into the old proboscis? They developed a gel that can do just that and tried it out on 104 volunteers. The results of this study, having been withdrawn once, will probably never be published in a scientific journal.

He canceled his upcoming gigs, retired to his New Jersey home and withdrew into the dark netherworld of illness, eventually learning that he had contracted one of the various...
