how can you be sure they are nose hairs and not steel wool that you have inhaled

[Replies From View]

serious question, as I know you work with steel wool a lot to keep the mice at bay, and you breathe in while you are doing it

it would explain the nosebleeds too

I've never heard of using steel wool against mice. Is this a confidence trick? As for nasal hairs I do not ('doughnut', ha!) think I have ever inhaled them up my mouth, unless my own hairs fell out and in my mouth.
