Year-round, really? I think I would be weary of using that stuff in significant quantities. As you mention, it's pretty potent medicine and I wonder what the adverse effects are in the long term...

What if you snot on yourself? Just let it freeze up? Slimes down your garments? My jackets are black... snot is light... Pardon me, I'm having snot rocket stress.
The snot police is beamed up out of nowhere to arrest you and drag you to the snot cell!!!

Just kidding, nothing happens, really, except that you wash your gear perhaps more often than not. I used to be unable to do it. Then I could do it but just on women-only rides. Now I just decided not to be so self-conscious anymore. If I swallow the stuff it's going to make me sick pretty fast. And I'm too busy riding/running to stop and gently blow my nose (which would quickly go raw anyway). So whatever...
