As above,
What do you all do for nose what just want stop running water/liquid out?
If it did not taste so bad it wouldn’t be a problem.

    It can be allergy related, speak to doctor nasal spray *may* help, didn't for me though. Some people I spoken with claim a anti polution mask can help for same reason. Not tried that myself I don't really like the idea.

    That leaves one option really, practice the snot rocket and stop swallowing it or sniffing.

    If your nose runs and your feet smell, you may be upside-down.

    Have been practice the snot rocket am getting better at it. Don’t like the idea of a mask. Will start allergy tablets and see if it helps

    Thanks for that

    It's worth pointing out that I was not joking.

    Your nose runs because of the air running over your eyes causing them to water. They drain into the nasal area, so covering your eyes means less watering, so less snorking.
