Yeah, scraping the inside of your nose hard and repeatedly for a COVID test can irritate or even damage the nasal mucus membrane. It might cause temporary inflammation, soreness, or minor bleeding. If done too aggressively, it could disrupt the protective barrier, making you more prone to infections. Got any lingering issues up there?
