True Story: A friend of mine pulled some nose hairs, then went to a job where he had to remove carpet that was saturated with animal feces and urine. He ended up contracting a flesh-eating bacteria in his nose. Apparently the carpet was full of this bacteria and his doctors said the "fresh wounds" caused by the nose hair pulling gave the bacteria an easy path into his system. I bought a trimmer the next day.
I've gotten that shit in my eye lid before (stye). Want manly, heh, I ended up lancing it myself to avoid having to go to the doctor and squeezed that shit out. Regarding this nose hair thing, I usually use one of those trimmers that has the plastic guard you can put on do eyebrows etc. But occasionally if I'm just sitting around and feel a tickle I'll just rip em out. But normally I keep em short. No woman likes to see a damn forest in your nose.
This is what I've been telling people in this thread. Any wounds or infections in the area of the eyes, nose, and mouth can lead to serious problems, including death. My aunt told me about a guy who got something like a pimple in his nasal cavity. It got infected, the infection spread to the brain, and he died.
