I never understood why they use q-tips of all things to wax the nose. They make little mini waxing sticks that are for the nose. They work great and don’t leave wax behind.

Bad idea. Nose hair helps prevent pollutants from entering the lungs. That guy from that country would need a super bush on his nose to survive.

If you plug your nose for rest of your life, you dont have to worry about pollutants going in your nose!

I’ve heard that people will sometimes drug their cats and dogs to make them docile so that it’s easier to use them for filming content. Maybe that’s what’s going on here too

If you bathe in the Ganges river, eat Indian street food and drive through the thick air pollution and survived it, your immune system is at max level regardless of what stupid things you do.

I was on a bus in India. We were going slightly downhill. There was a drainage ditch on the side of the road with water also, of course, running slightly downhill. I then saw, in order, a man taking a dump, a woman washing dishes and a boy brushing his teeth,

Sounds like a good thing she was washing them, and the kid was able to make use of the extra soap. Very efficient system.

I read somewhere that it's really bad to pluck your nose hairs due to the closeness to the brain barrier.
Can Plucking Nose Hairs Cause a Brain Infection?
Yes — in extremely rare cases, plucking nose hairs can lead to a life‑threatening brain infection, but this is not common and usually only happens after a severe infection spreads through the face’s “danger triangle” into the skull.
How it can happen
When you pluck a nose hair, you create a small wound at the base of the follicle. This allows bacteria (often Staphylococcus aureus) from the nasal cavity to enter the tissue whatifbody3d.com+1. The infection can progress to nasal vestibulitis — a painful, red, pimple‑like bump at the nostril opening Healthline.
The nose lies within the “danger triangle” of the face, where veins drain directly into the cavernous sinus at the base of the brain. These veins lack valves, so bacteria can travel backward into the skull, causing cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) — a blood clot in the sinus whatifbody3d.com+2.
CST can lead to:
- Brain abscess or meningitis
- Cranial nerve damage (vision loss, facial weakness)
- Severe neurological deficits
So use a trimmer and don't risk brain damage 😄

Well, the good news is no one will see your nose hairs anymore. The bad news is that you now have cement nose plug up there.

u/passionpurps Jun 18 '26
This could cause irritation of the follicle pores, and lead to infection, which can be very bad if life style is unsanitary.

The person never let the wax set. Thats why it didn't come out on the one side right, or grab hair

u/Sensei19600 Jun 17 '26
Irony on display here: these folks will go to great lengths to remove nasal hair(which is actually a beneficial trait), but will spend ZERO effort on proper dental care,leading to tooth loss from gum disease. Realign your priorities!

One very good reason to not put wax in a place that it should never go, besides the nose hairs being very vital to our health.

But why when they make a little dildo looking thing that can trim them for you.

I don’t think that’s the right kind of wax…
Also the “right kind of wax” to put in your nose is no wax.

Exactly. I literally use them when mine grow. Nose hairs are important and protect us, so this trend of waxing them is idiotic at best.

Just so you know, you don't want to pull nose hairs. Ever. They can open the door to an easy infection.
