ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nose-blowing

So, when we feel something in our nose like boogies or snot, it can be really uncomfortable and make it hard to breathe. One way to get rid of it is by blowing our nose.

We take a tissue or a handkerchief and put it under our nose. Then we block one nostril by squeezing it with our fingers and breathe out through the other nostril into the tissue. We repeat this on the other side, blocking the opposite nostril and blowing out the boogers or snot into the tissue.

When we blow our nose, it helps to clear out all the icky stuff that's stuck in there. It's important to make sure we use a tissue and throw it away afterwards so that we don't spread germs to other people.

Remember to always cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands afterwards. This will help to keep you healthy and prevent spreading germs to others.
