A person in Arizona reported recently finding a piece of a Lego man stuck up their nose and said they believe it had been there since they were a kid, more than a quarter of a century ago.
"Lego stuck in my nose for nearly 3 decades finally comes out? I CAN SMELL COLORS NOW," the caption of a Sept. 1 video clip Andi Norton, 32, posted on Instagram reads.
Norton, who lives in Phoenix and uses they/them pronouns, said they always wondered why they had "multiple breathing issues" growing up including sleep apnea and asthma.
In the video, Norton said sometime in the 90s around age "six or so," they shoved a Lego man piece up their nose. Norton said their mother thought she'd got it out, but a small piece of the toy secretly remained in Norton's nostril.
It stayed there for the next 26 years, Norton said.
Norton said they found Lego after blowing nose
Norton said the shocking discovering took place when they recently blew their nose.
"I was in the shower. " Norton said in the clip. "And my doctor has told me, with the dry hot summer months, it's really helpful to blow your nose while you're in the shower, because the humidity of the steam and everything... and today I blew my nose and low and behold a Lego shot out."
"I feel like this Lego piece has been the culprit for the last 26 years," Norton said, holding up a plastic bag with the toy inside. "I am shooketh. I can breathe out of this side of my nose now, and it's fantastic. I haven't been able to do that since I was a child."
USA TODAY has reached out to Norton.
Norton said in the clip they were planning to take the Lego piece to their doctor to get checked out.
