A member asked:
My 10 year old had a flea go up her nose and it didn't come out, should we be concerned??

Not really: As gross as it might be, it likely suffocated in her mucous and either drained forward or she swallowed it's carcass.Stomach acid would then sterilize it and whats left of it would pass in a few days in her poo.
