What would happen if we had no nose hairs?

Asked by fau 10 months ago, 6 answers.

Just curious.

Imagine walking around with a constantly runny nose.
teeheehee.

5 hours or so. Apolagy in advance for any hurt feelings!)

Sika's right, we would get sick. Nose hairs are like a filter, trapping pollen, dust, dirt and germs. Sometimes they get through, but if we didn't have hairs in our nosties, we'd have our lungs clogged up with junk. And I'd have permanent hayfever!

Well, there would be a higher probability that we would all be sick more often. Seeing as how most ''sicknesses'' enter the body through the mouth and nose, the body protects itself with nose hair, and mucous. Nose hair provides a surface for the bacteria and germs to latch onto before it enters the nasal passages. Then mucous can then engulf the bacteria and "run" it out of the nose. Without nose hair, the body would have less of a defense against sickness.

I'm not sure.
There used to be this girl in Gr.8 and her nose hairs were really long she had to trim them. Poor girl, she got made fun of so much.
Uh oh, if my nose ran all the time I would like shove something in it, I'd get frustrated. Maybe a nostral sized tampon would do that job Haha.

We'd get really sick. The nose hairs catch dirt, particles, dust, germs etc. Without them all of that would be going into our lungs. Ick
