The burrito bowl I got for lunch today was a bit too spicy for me. Afterwards, my nose got very runny. It’s not the first time this happened, so I decided to look it up. Lo and behold, there is a term for this!
ETA: I didn’t choose the thumbnail, it generated automatically. Sorry if it seems irrelevant to the post.
I get a runny nose in cold weather without fail, like 5°C or less, it gets all red too, it’s pretty embarrassing and makes me put on extra concealer I’d prefer to go without. Anyone else?
That’s normal. So is getting a runny nose after eating spicy food or during exercise. People just want to feel special so they make up stuff like this.
Which “people”? The scientists whose jobs are to study how our bodies work? Or the posters who learn something new and think, “People on Lemmy might like this to know this too”? Either way, sharing knowledge is what helps people learn that what they experience is normal.
But hey, good on you for already knowing something. Feel free to take a sticker from the bin.
If it’s cold my nose is like a leaky faucet.
My nose also runs nonstop if I’m tired enough, which is embarrassing and disgusting. Like I will literally just have snot dripping out of my nose if my hands are full and I’m not constantly blowing or wiping it. I feel like a toddler.
I think it’s pretty common and it turns out it’s just condensation.
