Plucking Nose Hairs May Bring Grave Consequences, It’s Best Not To Do It

[LoShiNi]

Practically every part of the human body has a specific, necessary function. However, certain beauty standards encourage, throughout history, practices which can be harmful to body functions and, as a result, our health. There are certain body hairs which of course, have an important function but which, according to current fashion, are considered undesirable on men and women.

Among these unwanted hairs are some very particular ones: Those which grow inside the nose. Their purpose is to filter potentially harmful particles from the air we breathe, and even to humidify the air we breathe in cold, dry conditions.

However, trends dictate that a lot of nose hair is considered ugly and unpleasant, so many people take to removing these hairs with tweezers. This action, in addition to preventing the nasal hairs from doing their job and exposing the person to allergies or respiratory infections, can cause a much bigger problem.

Every nose hair is found inside a pore, which are in turn connected to blood vessels in the area. These blood vessels are particularly sensitive. By removing a nose hair from the root, the pore is left exposed and open to any kind of infection. This means that very harmful bacteria such as amoeba, which normally can’t enter the bloodstream, can now enter via an open nasal pore. In extreme cases, this can lead to dangerous cerebral damage. The reason is that the brain is very closely connected to these blood vessels and any bacteria which enters here won’t take long before reaching the brain.

This is why we are strictly advised against plucking nasal hairs. But this doesn’t mean we need to go out with our nose hairs showing. The following procedure can be performed:

Sterilize a pair of curved-pointed scissors and, in front of a mirror, proceed to very carefully trim visible hairs. Avoid pulling the hairs, trimming hairs located further inside the nasal cavity, and cutting hairs very close to the base, since these can form sores and become infected. Using a trimming machine specifically designed for this can be useful, but always make sure to follow strict hygiene practices.

So now you know! You don’t need to display more nose hairs than you need to, but you shouldn’t pluck them. Just trim them very carefully.
