minus-squareilli@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·7 hours ago you can get awful brain poisoning from doing this Say whay now? Sounds like I should stop the practice. I didn’t even keep score :(
minus-squareValenThyme@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 hours agoi 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!
