When your medical advice comes from TikTok… you may end up with garlic up your nose!

Watch on TikTok

The latest stupid TikTok trend is sticking garlic up your nose to clear your sinuses. People are keeping the cloves in their noses for 10 to 15 minutes. And doctors are saying it’s dangerous: don’t do it!

Essentially, sticking garlic up your nose doesn’t actually clear your sinuses… instead it creates more mucus as your nose is trying to expel the object from your nostril. So you’ve added additional congestion to your original stuffy nose.

Per usual… TikTok challenges can be very stupid. So, unless it’s dumping a bucket on your head to raise awareness for ALS or donating to a charity, just skip it!
