A few days ago i picked my nose and accidentally pulled a few nose hairs its been feeling sore today,will i get a brain infection (triangle of death)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Triangle of death: Amazing you know about it. It is rare. If your nose wasn't infected to begin with and you only pulled hair it is unlikely. If you keep irritating the area by touching all the time, however, it could get infected. So, don't!
