    ...stuffed dry beans up her nose. beans! up her nose! wtf?!?!?!

    we gave her a bowl of rice and dry beans to scoop and pour, it builds motor skills and pre-math...she's 2 years old, it's one of her favorite things to do. anyway, i guess she got bored scooping and pouring beans, so she began to stuff them up her nose. there's at least 2 yellow split peas up there, that of course have swollen so we can't get them out, and there may be more further up behind them. she's getting all congested, and her tiny little nose is turning pink. and we have to take her to a specialist to get them removed. we took her to her pediatrician and he couldn't do it, so he recommended a specialist. she's so tiny and wiggly she may have to be sedated. hopefully she won't need surgery, but i'm pretty freaked out. her father's near hysterical with worry.

    managed to get a piece of apple stuck up his nose while he was eating it (he was 4yrs old!). Don't ask me how he did it but, he kept on sniffing which made it go up there farther.. I eventually got it out but it was kind of scary b/c I thought for a second that we were going to have to take him to the ER to get it out!! Hope it works out for you.. Oh, and I work at an ambulance service and we transport a fair amt. of youngsters to hospitals for sticking foreign objects in their noses and for getting objects lodge in their throats so... I think everything will be fine..:)

    My sister used to stick pebbles up her nose all the time when she was little. She does not remember doing it because she was so young. But I remember laughing at her in the hospital. But, I guess I should not of dared her to do it...............

    My son stuck some wooden beads up his nose when her was 2 or 3. I never thought we'd get them out. luckily, he had the holes in the beads turned toward his nostrils, so he couls still breathe through them.

    MiddleSister, you remember when I was babysitting your kids and the little devil one stuck pillow stuffing up his nose?

    lord :p

    I stuck a sunflower seed pretty far up my nose when I was little. My mother finally got it out with a pair of tweasers. Thankfully, she is a nurse, because I had several mishaps when I was younger, such as riding on a toddler's toy when I was five, trying to go up a bump in the sidewalk, tipping over and busting my chin open.

    my mom has a day care and this one little girl smelled sooooo bad for, like, a year and no one could figure out why. eventually, her parents took her to a doctor who looked far enough up her nose to figure out she had a piece of a sponge stuck up there and throughout the year it had slowly gotten moldy. so that's why she smelled. poor thing. because of that smell, i remember the girl very clearly.

    I have a simliar diseaster story actually, do you guys have blue tak in America, its like gum and used to stick posters to walls, I shoved a piece down my ear and my dad actually got it out with a pair of tweasers, and he wasn't medically trained, I often think how dangerous it was for him to try and get it out himself.

    oh and one christmas when I was 15 we where watching ET on the tele and I was complaining of a blocked nose from a cold, mum loosing her patince got this stuff from the medical box in the kitchen that you squirt up your nose to clear it.
    so we carried on watching the movie afterwards and i was saying its burning mum and she was saying don't be so stupid.
    so I went in the kitch and she had left the bottle on the side, and it was ear wax remover she had squirted up!! she phoned A&E in a bit of a state!! and they said don't worry cause the ear wax remover wouldn't do me any harm as ears and noses are connected anyhow.

    bet you think I should report my parents to social services after thses stories!!

    aww my aunt did the same thing when she was a kid, stuck pinto beans up her nose.
    my friends son stuck those magnectic strobe light blinking things up his nose once and his nose was blinking!! haha he freaked out cuz it got sucked up way up there...they had to use the other side of the magnet to get the light out of his nose. funniest thing i ever saw!

    I've seen ppl. do that on TV...with spaghetti. I quote a song by Styx: "I've got too much time on my hands & it's tickin' away with my sanity."
