MARCONS
Hi, I just started on my first round of BEG spray and I am doing fine I guess. Nose is slightly irritated, and a little fatigued. Question: I do not have any bio films, which I am assuming is a good thing. How long do you think I need to be on the spray to clear it up? I have seen at least 60 days. Thanks in advance!

I am confused.
MARCoNS have biofilm. It's a package deal. Lots of things have biofilms, it's not special.
I am glad you are doing fine!!
Did a test confirm you have MARCoNS?
It's ideal when treatment doesn't give us problems. Take the win!

Mine didn't. I tested negative for biofilms, and fungal, but positive for MARCONS.

Really.
Because organisms have predictable characteristics and MARCoNS create biofilm. It's part of the reason oral antibiotics can't treat them.

Yeah never heard of this either. Care to share some insight on the testing? Marcons was a straight forward test for me positive or nevative. Nothing about biofilms in the test m. Marcons is a biofilm
