Lego comes out of boy's nose after two years




A toy hand from a Lego set has come out of a boy's nose two years after it got stuck up there.

Samir Anwar, from Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island was playing with the Lego piece in 2018 when he put it up his nostril.

His dad Mudassir shone a torch up Samir's nose at the time but couldn't see it.

The GP told the family it would quickly find its way out naturally through his body, but it didn't.

Let this be a lesson to all Lego people: Watch your hands.

but stopped as it may seem a tinge antisemitic. But essentially, the premise is similar to the original post and is amusing.

It's on youtube if you're interested.

Had Legos been more widely available, things might have gone differently.

slapped in the face by a green twig while climbing a tree when he was 10. Afterwards he had one sinus infection after another for months, until finally a specialist looked up his nostrils and found the twig - which had sprouted and was growing upward, toward his brain.

My toddler great-granddaughter stuck a piece of a paper towel up one of her nostrils and had to have it surgically removed.

Yikes, I am glad the little boy with the Lego piece in his nose is okay now!
