You know the kind – the sneeze where your hand/monitor/date’s face is left splattered as if shot at close range with a mucus blunderbuss.
But no more, with the Anti-Mucus Nostril Sacs!
The sacs are packaged as small discs, flexible and mouldable to the dimensions of disparate nostrils. The
user inserts them in their nostrils and tiny, thermally-activated micro-hooks secure the sacs in the nostril.
The user breathes as normal – the sacs’ micromesh material allows air to pass freely.
When they sneeze however, the sacs act as a barrier to the ejected material.
The force of the sneeze causes the sacs to spring out of their disc state and into their extended state – they are structured in a manner akin to a tiny concertina/wind sock – where they dangle from the user’s nostrils, holding the mucus.
Besides preventing the spraying of mucus all over your surroundings, this would also look hilarious –
“Oh Chad! Look everyone – Chad’s mucus sacs have gone again!”
They would come in a variety of colours and styles (eg. national flags, leopard print etc) and could even act as a filter for undesirable matter in the atmosphere (eg. dust, anthrax spores etc).
