A member asked:
I have hair like things on tissue when i blow my nose. they are way thinner than a normal body hair. could that just be cilia or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal hair: The membranes inside the nostrils are lined with fine hairs which help to filter out large materials and sweep out secretions. Blowing your nose may cause some to break off and appear in your nasal secretions.
