Nose Guttering is a short section of
miniature guttering, that you attach
underneath your nose by means of a set of
padded clips. You wear it when you are
beset with a constantly running cold.
The guttering slopes gently downwards at
both sides like a moustache, the two ends
terminating
in down-spouting which
conveys the unwanted mucous away and
into a settling tank worn as a belt
attachment.

Not so sure that I'd want a tub of snot hanging on my belt...maybe for hospitals or other care facilities? |
|
|
And, wouldn't the mucus get crusty and clog the piping? Like it does in your nose? |
|
|
.....streaming....... free flowing - use it
stick loose tiles down around the
fireplace when it starts to coagulate. Some
of this stuff sets like evostick. |

Not your best, [x], but [+] for the image. |

I've often wanted something like this five days into a cold when my nose is peeling and too sore to blow again. |

You could have gutter "heaters" that keep the flow going and prevent your feared clogging scenario. |

Beware the predilections of Nostril Damus. |

For a moment I thought FarmerJohn was back... |

I think this would be just as socially unacceptable as a drop of liquid hanging from your nose tip. [-] sorry, I usually love your ideas, but no. |
|
|
You could have this as the internal plumbing behind a mask. Then you don't have to blow, and nobody else has to see. |
|
|
A slippery slope, [lurch]. Before you know it you'll be building death stars and cutting off your son's hand. |

In all seriousness, this would be great for people who work with hazardous chemicals during the allergy season. You have to wear gloves, and you can't touch anything, especially your face or a tissue (Kimwipe, in the current scenario) that's about to touch your face. But you still have all this snot. Bun. |

//this would be great for people who work with hazardous chemicals //
Too true. We all know how dangerous it can be working in the ol' factory. |

I suspect that a mild amount of negative pressure may need to be applied to maintain flow along the pipework, due to the viscosity. This shouldn't be too hard to arrange. |
