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.
