    my record is 23 nostril hairs at once!

    I used to pull them out instead of using a nose hair trimmer because it was easy and doesn’t realy hurt if I do it fast.

    Then i learned you can get awful brain poisoning from doing this if you get an infection so i had to let the record stand there about 15 years ago. Best record before that was only 14 so I was quite excited to get 23.

        i do not understand at all why waxing your mustache is fine but plucking your nose hairs is not!

        But the tldr is an infection inside your nose can get into your brain somehow and it’s way more likely if you pull the hairs out vs trimming them.

        Idk it was 15 years ago and i’m no scientist but the evidence available to me at the time was compelling enough that i quit it!
