Packard records the accidental entrance of a centipede into the nostril.

There is an account of a native who was admitted to the Madras General Hospital, saying that a small lizard had crawled up his nose.

The urine of these animals is very irritating, blistering any surface it touches.

Despite vigorous treatment the patient died in consequence of the entrance of this little creature.
There have been instances among the older writers in which a pea has remained in the nose for such a length of time as to present evidences of sprouting.

The Ephemerides renders an instance of this kind, and Breschet cites the history of a young boy, who, in 1718, introduced a pea into his nostril; in three days it had swollen to such an extent as to fill the whole passage.
