I’ve been there, done that, and have my gym clothes to show for it. There are times I have complained to my ever patient friends that I have gained weight, when in reality, I’m just bloated. There’s a difference between bloating and weight gain! Who knew? It’s not all the time that you gain actual weight, and by that, I mean fat. Weight gain could be caused by excess fat accumulating in various parts of the body, whereas, bloating is all in the tummy mostly caused by gas. And trust me, if it is weight gain, you’d know because it happens everywhere! Arms, face, thighs, even your eyes…just kidding. But yeah, everywhere because fat distributes evenly all over the body.

While trying to unhook the booger from the walls of your nose, you are likely to scratch the nasal cavity without realizing (that’s how small the abrasion can be) causing it to bleed. The blood could encourage the proliferation of organisms like Staph aureus which aren’t very friendly...
