Nose hairs are not particularly lovely to think about but we all have them for a reason. Those nose hairs which are known as vibrissae are there to protect you from dust and germs around you. Vibrissae trap foreign particles and prevent them from going into your system which can be deadly. Therefore, when there are a lot of particles trapped inside of your nose, then mucus production is at its high. You then have that urge to blow your nose so all of the trapped particles are released.
With that being said, you need vibrissae, and as tempted as you might be to pluck or wax all of the nasal hair strands, don’t! Think again before you do it, after learning about the four terrifying reasons you never want to remove your nasal hair!
You’ll Be Dealing With Infections
As you just read, that nasal hair keeps you protected from foreign particles by trapping them. And when you don’t have any nasal hair to trap them, then you will easily end up with infections in your nose. And this is not something you want to deal with. Having an infection in your nose is quite unpleasant as it is bad enough to deal with them outside of your nose.
Expect To Deal With Ingrown Hair
If you pulled the hair on your legs or underneath your arms, you likely experienced the pain and problems with having ingrown hair. Ingrown hair not only cause pain and inflammation, but they cause small bumps which make it even more uncomfortable. If you have had a bad time with ingrown hair in other parts of your body, then imagine how you will feel when it is in your nose. That is a risk you will take if you pluck or wax the nose hairs.
You Are Playing With The Triangle Of Death
Do you know what the triangle of death is? It is the area between the bridge of your nose and the bottom of your mouth. And if you end up with an infection in any of those areas, it can potentially be deadly. That is because an infection in that area can easily spread to the brain and when that happens, you can easily succumb to it.
You Are Risking A Brain Infection
Those nose hairs that are protecting you from foreign particles are also protecting your brain. Because the absence of them means that you are at high risk for developing nose infections which can easily travel to the brain. Veins that carry blood from the nose to the brain will pass infections to it which can result in deadly ones such as bacterial meningitis.
After this, hopefully, you now will never consider plucking your nose hairs again. But what do you do instead of they get too long? You can trim them, and trimming them will not have an effect on how much they can save you from serious infections. Trimming them will not cause ingrown hairs. Take scissors that are meant to trim nose hairs and use them only when they are getting too long. Don’t pluck or wax your vibrissae again and stay healthy.
