In a rare incident, a man from Arizona claimed that he dislodged a Lego piece that had been stuck in his nose for around three decades. The 32-year-old man shared a video on his social media platform where he posted a bizarre experience shedding light on the mystery behind his long-standing health issues.
Norton has been suffering from multiple breathing issues throughout his life such as sleep apnea and asthma. However, he recently found the true reason behind this discomfort.
At the age of six or so, in the 1990s, he explains that he had pushed a Lego man piece up his nose, which got stuck. His mother had used tweezers to take it out. And the two thought that the thing was out of his nose for good, but little did they know a piece of it was still lodged up there for all these years.
How did he take it out?
Norton shared an Instagram story on his social media platform, where he shared the complete story of his discomfort and how he blew his nose while showering and accidentally removed that Lego piece from his nose.
While sharing his story, he said, "I was in the shower. And my doctor has told me, with the dry, hot summer months, it's really helpful to blow your nose while you're in the shower because of the humidity of the steam and everything and today I blew my nose and low and behold a Lego shot out."
"I feel like this Lego piece has been the culprit for the last 26 years. I am shooketh. I can breathe out of this side of my nose now, and it's fantastic. I haven't been able to do that since I was a child," the 32-year-old added.
