Blowing your nose a lot, even one nostril at a time, will encourage your nose to immediately produce more mucous secretions in order to protect the delicate tissues from the 'assault'. It can create a spiraling cycle of blowing and more copious nose running and more blowing. People who blow their noses a lot produce way more mucous than people who just sniffle it in. Doctors say it's much better on the sinuses to just sniff it in and swallow. After a while of this, the mucous secretions decrease to more normal levels because you are not blowing all the time. The end result is that any nausea you might experience from swallowing a lot of mucous will become less likely when you don't produce as much watery mucous. You also won't get so dehydrated from ridding your body of moisture like many are complaining about.
My nose runs a lot in the cold on my bike, I sniff it in and it never becomes huge amounts, just watery annoyance.
I know many of you will argue with this concept and don't accept it. That's fine too- just keep blowing your brains out!![]()
