I know that feeling. I once woke up and had a plugged left nostril. Stuck a pinky in it to explore and out came a giant, solidified blood slug about 4 inch long. Apparently I’d had a spontaneous nosebleed during the night.

When I was ~14 years old I woke up one morning with a splitting headache. It was so bad that I didn't go to school that day. About two hours into my morning I got the sudden urge to blow my nose. What came out of my right nostril was an enormous booger roughly the size of my entire pinky, with small streaks of blood marking the outside. I'll never forget the feeling of expelling that monstrosity, it was pure bliss. I hope it happens to me again one day

That sounds like a scary one; you’d almost be tempted to think you suddenly dislodged a brain tumor or things like that :D

Four inches?? Huh???

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yep. Like a blood ribbon almost. I imagine the bleed started in the front of the nasal cavity and trickled quite a ways back when I was sleeping on my back.

I was quite surprised indeed when it came out. Even took a picture of it.

i already regret asking but can you share the photo here?

Unfortunately I don’t have it anymore or I’d post it for sure :D I took it years ago on an ancient iPod Touch that now has a spicy pillow for a battery and is completely dead.
