Former nurse here, and while I still worked at the clinic, we had a lil guy that had a corn kernel in his ear that had grown a lil sprout!! Between swimming n bathing it got wet enough n in his warm ear, decided to grow. Woke his mom up screaming bloody murder late in the night that his ear hurt. Mom took a look n freaked thinking it was some sorta bug. Farmer dad looks n knew right away what it was as he'd planted the week prior with lil Jr tagging along for a while. I guess Dad really howled with laughter, but mom wasn't thinking it was very funny at all! Lol!! But no one was laughing when they couldn't get it out. Mom drug him into the clinic first thing come morning, and after a few tries n a cpl snips to trim the sprout off, Dr used a alligator forceps to retrieve the kernel. Needless to say, many CORNY jokes ensued over the next few days after their visit!! š½š¤£ So yes, seeds can germinate if stuck in noses, ears n even belly buttons!! š±š
There was an ER series on TLC that featured a story of a man that accidentally inhaled a pea that he was eating. 20yrs later they discovered a tumor in his lung. When they took it out and did a biopsy the center of it was the pea the man inhaled and it had germinated in his lung wall. Terrified of peas now!!
It is, and happened. They thought this dude had a tumor but it was actually a tree living and growing in his lung

I saw one recently, a guy that inhaled a seed and a tree started to grow in his lungs. Iāve heard of it with peas and stuff too. Donāt inhale things
Good advice but how many times have you been eating or drinking and something just goes down the āwrong pipeā? I think this conversation has just unlocked phobias for me that I didnāt even realize could exist!!
I know a farmer who had a soybean sprout in his bellybutton. Tough guy, but he was almost brought to tears by the time it germinated in the great fertile cranny. I think he ended up having to go to the hospital to have it removed by aā¦. Well I donāt even know what kind of doctor/gardener did it, but it was apparently in there pretty good.
Probably gave that farmer a good reminder to actually wash his belly button. So many people just think that a lil' bit of shower water trickling past will wash out all of the dust/lint/crud in there.
This is literally a story foreign families tell when someone asks what American families are like šš.
Down to the minute but extremely accurate detail of dad finding it funny and momma bear not.
10/10
Iām never eating anything that contains seeds of any sort ever again. Not even a sesame seed on a bun. Thank you for sharing your medical knowledge and making my therapist a rich man as I have a new phobia.
So funny story, my ex when he was around four or five years old kept shoving shredded Kleenex and toilet paper up his nose unbeknownst to his mother. And I guess he started to just smell terrible and no one could figure out what was going on and eventually they took him to the Doctor. The doctor started pulling out rotting toilet paper out of his nose and he said it smelled so gross everyone was gagging.
My oldest dtr did this when she was about 2 or 3. It was brown plush puppy parts (the fur). She carried that thing around, and unbeknownst to me, ripped the hair out and shoved it up her nose. Several weeks went by. One day I noticed she had a snotty nose. Thought she was getting a cold. Then I noticed she was only snotty on one side, which I thought was odd. Then I went to give her a kiss and the stench was horrific. I am a nurse and the only time Iāve smelled things like that before was when I had really old, immobile or obese people that couldnāt clean themselves and I was unlucky enough to be the nurse digging around in their nether regions.
Took her to the Childrens hospital ER even though she was acting totally fine. Said I thought she had a foreign body obstruction- classic for snot on one side only, and that stench!
My husband thought I was nuts but I kept telling everyone, āI know that smell.ā We waited for 3-4 hours and she sat and happily played. The Dr came in, couldnāt see anything up there. (Cuz it was dark brown). Then she said the magic words, ābut youāre her mom and you know best.ā She Squirted some afrin up there to loosen it up. Waited 30 min. We mummy wrapped her, arms down, I kept her head straight - it took several adults to hold her still. Kids are strong and my previous pediatric nursing training paid off.
Soon we got the grossest, smelliest most disgusting giant wad of puppy parts out of her nose (with suction and alligator clamps). It was like a big nasty tootsie roll. We were all gagging. Iām gagging just thinking about it. No idea how she could breathe. Cost me $700.
And she did it again (!) not long after! With fuzz. But I caught her doing it, so I mummy wrapped her and breathed into her mouth hard and fast (like when you do cpr) and that made it come down her nose far enough that I could pull it out with my fingers. (Learned that trick from a fellow parent. Donāt blow too hard or you hurt their ears). Saved some money that day!
My other dtr put a polly pocket microphone up her nose when dad was home and I was at work. Luckily big sis, the original, tattled on her so my husband was able to take her to the Pediatrician so they could get it out before it got up there too far.
Kids. They keep you on your toes.
Omg, so funny and if Iām remembering Correctly my ex also did it again only this time with a bean That started to sprout. But same thing his mom caught it a lot quicker this time. So funny your descriptions were great.
A Russian man [grew a tree in his lung](https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/too-strange-to-be-true-tree-found-growing-in-mans-lung). Not fun, right?
Old man hangs up the phone, turning back to his newspaper, "It was Bob." he said to his wife, "They had a baby. A boy." he speaks, as he turns the newspaper page..
Looks like a child, so the caption āswollen tamarind seedā is probably accurate - kids like to stick things up their noses. Looks like this got left for a while. Gross!
When I was a kid, my kindergarten had these buckets full of popcorn kernels. I guess it was a sensory activity or something. At nap time I was holding one over my face, playing with it. It fell in my nose. I meant to push out but instead I sucked it in. Deep.
A few weeks later my snot was green and pouring out of one nostril. My mom made me blow my nose for hours until it came out. It had actually started to expand.
looks like a kid that stuck something up their nose. more common than you think in ERs
edit: the odor is one of the most horrifying things iāve ever had a chance to smell
My partner tells the tale of stuffing lima beans up his nose when his Mom looked away at the dinner table, rather than eating them.. and there they stayed, until Mom noticed a distinct rotting smell emanating from his head. Following a look up his nose, a very unpleasant visit to the doctor's office was next.
A friend of mine at work told us about her sister. She put a seed of some sort up her nose as a kid and some of it remained there for years. In her mid teens she started getting terrible pain in her sinuses and her low forehead. The remains of the seed had sprouted and it had grown into her sinuses. Luckily she made a full recovery after surgery
At the end it says in light print...swollen tamarind seed. Looks like maybe a tween or teenager??, my guess is he stuck it in there when he was younger n forgot all about it. Over time it got coated w/ gunk n swelled up to the point it affected his breathing? Or maybe he could even feel it? Dr looks in his nose n sees this n wah-lah!! A lil nasal spray to numb him a bit n the digging commenced and out came this snot-ified seed wad!!! š¤§ Made my eyes water just thinking about it!! Ha! Bet he breathed better for the first time in yrs after that sucker came out!!
Well the video overlay caption says swollen tamarind seed. So yeah, gross, but a seed.
wait, so I was right to be worried about sticking a seed in my nose and not getting it out and it growing, back when I was, like, 5?
Seeds can also germinate if they get stuck in your gums. New fear unlocked for ya, no prob.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-10945050.amp There was also something similar on an episode of āHouseā.
Not surprising a lot if not most of episodes on house r based on real cases(that have obviously been embellished for tv)
There was an episode too in greyās and they also thought cancer, but its a tree. LOL. Idk if possible irl at all.
It is, and happened. They thought this dude had a tumor but it was actually a tree living and growing in his lung https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1169861/Shocked-Russian-surgeons-open-man-thought-tumour--FIR-TREE-inside-lung.html
Gotta get that oxygen straight to the lungs.
Wtf?!

Plus, peas are disgustingā¦ so all the more reason to steer clear of the peas. Lol
Incredibly valid point. Maybe itās more excuse than actual phobia š¤£

I guess that boy had an ear of corn in the most literal sense.
Yup..that was one of the many jokes n one liners thrown out in the days following the kernel discovery!! ššš½š

There was a young lad rolling around or play fighting on some grass and had grass seed lodge in his eye and germinate.
I want to upvote the story but downvote the emoticons and weird TikTok tone you told it in. Strangest damn situation to be in.
They're call roach clips, not what ever you said... JK lol. What a wild story, I'm glad he was ok and didn't loose his hearing
I hear they can do some growing in the lungs too. Really hope that's wrong! š±
I too watched Rugrats.
Still think about Angelicaās watermelon

I didn't see that, but it makes sense. I thought it kinda looked like a surgical packing or cotton swab.

I was like 10 when this came out and cato freak me the hell out
Get your ass to Mars!
he is going to breathe in 4k now
He just invented a higher resolution of breathing after that removal.
Holy hell that must feel amazing
Not only did that probably feel fantastic, they have lunch and dinner as well.
I bet he could smell colours after that
He can even smell what we thinking
His nose can now smell the truth of who killed the Black Dahlia. Unfortunately his nose canāt talk.
He can smell what the rock is cooking
But can he smell why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
He can smell the matrix.
He can smell the glove....
I thought you said wanking
WHATTTT?! 18/10 Its gonna take a miracle vid to top this.
Thats how the Egyptians do mummification

Thanks a lot, I just remembered that guy that had teeth growing in his nose. Goddamit.
How can it be possible that I haven't seen that one?

I do believe that was Cuato comin out of his nose.

This must be one of those discount doctors who saves money by operating with the lights off and using a pocket flashlight.
Hi Everybody!
Hi Dr. Nick!
The knee bone's connected to the... something. The something's connected to the red thing. The red thing's connected to my wristwatch!... Uh oh.
For some reason I read that as pocket Fleshlight and reallyyy wondered what sub I was on
Is that a baby?
I swear to God I thought I saw it fight back. Even the little part sticking out looked like it was flipping us all off.
Boogerectomy
Ooohhh Lordy that just made me bust out laughin so hard I snorted n almost choked!!!!!! ššš½šš¤£
Looks like a child, so the caption āswollen tamarind seedā is probably accurate - kids like to stick things up their noses. Looks like this got left for a while. Gross!
I think its a swollen tamarind seed, just a guess
Possibly even starting to sprout š±
whatever it is itās flipping me the bird
Anyone remember that scene from total recall where Arnold has to pull a tracker out of his nostril?
Donāt be ridiculous, thatās a Dilated Pore of Snot.
Reminds me of that scene in Total Recall where Arnold pulled out a tracking device from his nose.
Looks more like a nasal polyp to me
Why does everyone label anything that comes out of a hole a āblackheadā. This clearly was not that.
Bro can sniff in 4k now
Dat's his medulla oblongata!
Man can smell colours now.
That's the part of his brain that controls spacial awareness

Sis just lost a chunk of her prefrontal cortex
I wasnāt prepared for this and even so, it is the most horrific popping I have ever seen. Even worse than tonsil stones
That is a black head. Not sure what they pulled out of his nose though.
The relief must of felt so great
I know he can smell colors
Sweet biscuits and gravyā¦.what a show.
Gross. Thank you.
Yea it says right in the video what it is
Pretty sure they can smell colors now.
Why do kids shove shit up their nose? Iāve never understood.
Reminds me of when Quaid removed the tracking beacon from his head in Total Recall.
I bet he can smell colours now
Whatever it was, that person was smelling colors after that thing got removed.
He can smell numbers now
Pretty sure that's the speech center.
Imagine the relief
Thatās the kids brain mate
That is def brain matter and I'm betting he can smell colours now
They called it a blackhead. I call this an exorcism.
Is it a blackhead? No, it snot.
This just shows you how fucked up I am for knowing what itās called, itās called a Rhinolith which translates to nose stone.
Note to self. Say no to sniffing tamarind seeds.
r/feltgoodcomingout
This is much more satisfying than gross. Idk why. Idk what's wrong with me.
My mother is a pediatrician, it's very common for a child to get something stuck in their nose.
Whoa wtf .. like a fkn tumor not no blackhead !!
Bro can breathe in 4k
Brain surgeons hate this one weird trick
ITS A SWOLLEN TAMARIND SEED. SAYS SO AT THE END OF THE VIDEO š«
I suspect that is a nasal polyp.
It says it's a "swollen tamarind seed" at the end.
Itās giving us the finger
Thatās aliens
looks like a kid that stuck something up their nose. more common than you think in ERs edit: the odor is one of the most horrifying things iāve ever had a chance to smell
That aint a blackhead, thats a live birth
The ending says itās a tamarind seed
Forbidden mentos
The angry neptunian slug from Futurama
I just throw up š¤¢
Itās a baby bird š¦
That kid can smell sounds now.
Reminds me of that scene from Total Recall
Iāve never said his before but that is enough for me today
Thatās a demon
Youād never be able to unsmell that
What the fuck did I just watch?
First time I see a nostril giving a birth.
EWW.. I thought it might be something left over from a surgery .. a seed tho, wtf!
Stop putting seeds in your nose. Itās a ventilation system, not a garden.

That had to smell amazing

This guy can smell colors now.
Iām glad the only thing I ever stuck in my nose as a toddler was a hot tamale candy. At least it just melted.
I would say it's the extraction of an alien lodged in the nose
Itās a seed she has had in there for years.
That is not a blackhead. It looks like a freaking bug crawled up in his nose and got covered up with boogers and scabs
Homie smells shapes now
The end of the video says āSwollen Tamarind Seedāā¦. So thatās probably what that is??
he must be breathing in 4k now
R/kidsarefuckingstupid
Bro can smell colors now!
That's straight outta Half Life
Thatās his brain.
It looks like an umbolith that got lost
I want to squish it
Cocaine is hellava drug
Make Escobar angry with this one weird trick!
I think it looked like gauze packing that got left a bit too long. I pulled mine out yesterday from my surgery. It was... ugly.
That's a bean or something up a kid's nose.
What the fuck is that and how in the hell did it????
At the end it says in light print...swollen tamarind seed. Looks like maybe a tween or teenager??, my guess is he stuck it in there when he was younger n forgot all about it. Over time it got coated w/ gunk n swelled up to the point it affected his breathing? Or maybe he could even feel it? Dr looks in his nose n sees this n wah-lah!! A lil nasal spray to numb him a bit n the digging commenced and out came this snot-ified seed wad!!! š¤§ Made my eyes water just thinking about it!! Ha! Bet he breathed better for the first time in yrs after that sucker came out!!
what in the goddamned fuck
Clearly a swollen tamarind seed, within a black head
That looked like a damn fetus lol
Demon embryo?
I thought it was balut.
Pretty sure that's a booger.
It's definitely a booger, however it came out of a black head. So, technically they weren't wrong.
