On the importance of nose hairs ||
At a certain point, you will be talking to someone, and without any warning at all, mucus will drip directly rom your nose. There will be nothing you can do. It will happen so fast, neither tissues nor handkerchiefs will suffice. Those will still be in your pocket.
Why, you ask? Because for all of your previous years, you had hair strategically lining the inside of your nostrils. Those hairs do a wonderous job of stopping, or at least slowing down, the stray snot that occasionally works its way to the edge of your nasal passage and threatens to escape in clear view of other people.
Unfortunately, when you have the Alopecia that I’m lucky enough to have, those hairs have long since been gone. And thus, with no such barrier, on more occasions than I wish to admit, snot has embarrassingly streamed out of my face with no word of warning.
