It's easy to imagine yourself withstanding torture in order to save a loved one... until you hit your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe IRL (lemmy.world)

you can get awful brain poisoning from doing this

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!
