Triangle of death: While dr oz is correct when he says that infections in that area do have the potential to spread to the brain, calling it the triangle of death is a bit extreme. My suggestion would be to use nose trimmers rather than waxing. If you feel you need to wax, clean the area thoroughly with a safe antiseptic. Then, if you notice any blood or inflammation, wash the area immediately and keep it clean.

Exaggeration: You shouldn't squeeze pimples in this area as there's a small chance of some bacteria going backward towards the brain. Waxing is no problem at all.
