I could be a nose hair donor for the Nuhart Clinic. PITA. BUT............. FWIW.......... The Mrs' former boss (a general surgeon) was adamant that the little fuggers be trimmed and not pulled. The open follicles, are, apparently, an express lane for a facial infection. And, also apparently, facial infections are notoriously hard to treat and are close to a whole bunch of important stuff like eyes and brains and such. Dunno. I still yank them from time to time. But I also remember popping a zit in my 'stache with my Schrade one time............... Whole other story ending with my eye being swollen shut within 18 hours of popping the little turd.

Can't stand hearing someone who sounds like he's breathing through a brillo pad.

Yank those babies out, right now. Trying to talk to someone with a nose afro is akin to trying to talk to the pretty gal who just won the wet t-shirt contest. How can I concentrate and have an intelligent conversation with you when you've got all of that going on right in front of my face?

Leave em there.
They are a filter. I'm with you on that Jim. But, them little fuggers that grow across the whole width of your nostril and tickle the other side whenever you move a facial muscle drive me bananas. It's like having a friggen gnat or something up there. I can live with a lot of little nagging deals, but that is a deal breaker.

I yank them with tweezers then trim what's left with one of the little hedge clipper trimmers mentioned before. I also take some clippers to my eyebrows. Getting old sucks, it seems like I have to do it about once a week nowadays.

Only trim enough so it doesn't look like a tarantula trying to get out.

But I also remember popping a zit in my 'stache with my Schrade one time............... Whole other story ending with my eye being swollen shut within 18 hours of popping the little turd. THIS. One of my father's uncles died from blood poisoning he got from pulling nose hairs. I assume it must be rare, but can happen.

My nose hairs get trimmed regularly (as soon as they start tickling  ) using a flashlight and these most excellent tiny scissors I've had for decades. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/rwg88YmB/IMG-1513.jpg)

I use a little sharp scissor, cut it from the roots so it takes time to come back up.
