Yeah, that's a great way to live your life, afraid of your own water supply :roll:

I remember the story from 2011. Apparently it's quite popular to pour water up your nose to flush your sinuses. You can even buy little watering cans for the job.

I'm sure there was an episode of House where one of the doctors caught that.

It's ok to drink, just don't shower or go for a swim...

Edit: oh, and don't laugh whilst drinking and snort it back out through your nose! :lol:

It want that exact bug, but singing very similar. One of the few two episode stories.
