We doubt there are many worse things you could find growing in your nose.
A Saudi Arabian man finally went to the doctor after having several nosebleeds in a row over three years and doing nothing about it, only to discover that instead of having a few blobs of snot up there he in fact had an entire extra tooth all up in his schnoz.

Yes, that's a tooth that grew the wrong way up into a man's nasal cavity. We understand if you feel quite sick now.
Apparently having extra teeth isn't all that uncommon, with many teeth growing upside down or not at all and just lingering in your skull, but it's very rare for them to grow into the nose. Dr. John Hellstein, a dentist and professor of oral pathology at the University of Iowa, had this to say on the subject: 'It's an unusual case of an extra tooth - certainly, the most impressive intranasal photo I think I've ever seen of one. I've never seen the tooth actually in there'.
