"I Can Breath Now": Lego Ejected From US Resident's Nose After 26 Years

Andi Norton, a 32-year-old from Arizona, was astonished to remove a Lego piece from their nostril that had been lodged there for 26 years.

Andi Norton, a 32-year-old resident of Arizona, United States, was surprised to discover a Lego piece that had been lodged in their nostril for 26 years while blowing their nose in the shower.

In an Instagram post on September 2, Norton, who identifies as they/them, revealed about the shocking discovery to their followers. They said that the incident happened when Norton was six years old during the 1990s. Despite their mother's efforts to recover the toy, a piece of the Lego stayed in Norton's nostril all these years. But the presence of the foreign object was only known recently.

The doctor suggested that Norton blow their nose in the shower, which Norton has been doing frequently these past dry, hot summer months. The steam may have helped dislodge their nasal passages, perhaps causing the eventual realignment of the Lego piece.
