A member asked:
I ordered a spray for my nose dryness. i used it once and then realized had no safety seal. how would i know if someone used it and i got something?

Unlikely: Since you ordered sometime passed between the first user and you assuming that it has been used by someone else. Most of the viruses and bacterias in dry surfaces in such a scenario can not survive long time to cause any harm to you.
