The 32-year-old recounted the wild story, sharing that he was innocently blowing his nose in the shower as his doctor advised, since he lives in Arizona which has a dry climate ad the steam and humidity from the shower can help decongest.
But during this shower, he was ”blowing my nose in the shower and lo and behold, I blew out a Lego dot that has been in my nose for at least 26 years”.
On seeing the tiny green dot, his mind was cast back to the ’90s, when he was about six years old, when he “had the greatest idea to take one of those little dot Legos and I don’t know, I just thought maybe I could just stick it in my nose.

Immediately after he ”panicked of course because this Lego piece was too small for me to reach in my nose and grab it,” and so he had, “the brilliant idea of making a little Lego man… (to) try to connect the piece on the top of the head like a little hat because it would fit”.
“My little Lego man was going on a deep diving rescue mission to pop that little Lego out,” he shared the though process from his six-year-old brain.
Of course, the fatal flaw of the plan was revealed when he stuck the Lego man in and the head popped off.

“At this point, I’ve panicked loudly and my mum came in and in her panic, she’s looking at my nose and seeing there’s a Lego head stuck in my nostril.”
As his mum grabbed the Lego man’s head out with tweezers – all the while asking him why he would do that – six year old Norton said he was “terrified of my parents, I just didn’t want to get in trouble.”
In all the commotion, it seems the original Lego dot was forgotten. Until now.

“I don’t know what to think of this because I have had multiple breathing issues with asthma… I just got diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea,” Norton shared.
“I feel like this LEGO piece has been the culprit for the last 26 years of my life,” he realised.
He has now bagged up the specimen and will be taking it to his doctor for further investigation.
