Okay, okay.

New question: How long could a nostril go without drying out? Unrelated to the blocked nostril.

I don’t have an answer but I would guess somewhere along the lines of a couple hours (we’re talking about the whole half sinus, not just the nostril). So it would be great if the body could adapt to a plugged nostril by not switching to it, the mechanism just doesn’t exist as the sinus are on autopilot.

Cool note, it’s erectile tissue in the sinus that expands and contracts to make the automatic process work.
