Yesterday, we were considering paying one of our friends $50 to snort a line of Nesquik chocolate milk powder. We didn’t do it of course, but it got me thinking.
Given that the powder is not a harmful substance in itself, what kind of effect does the physical act of snorting a powder have?
I imagine that inhaling any kind of powder has negative effects to the nasal lining and membranes. Does this depend on the size of the particles? How severe can the effects be? How good is the nasal lining at cleaning itself?
