A member asked:
Can dust get up to the olfactory nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: Your olfactory nerve is from your brainstem and its branches eventually make their way to your nasal mucosa and receive input from your nose i.e. smell. Things do not go up the nerve as such only the information the nerve endings receive.
