and instead of two nostrils you'll have one enormous one?

Yes and also the roof of your mouth will deteriorate so there is no seperation between your nose and your mouth. You talk different very nasal...Your gums and teeth rot out too.

You're half right. It can eat away the septum which separates the two nostrils. But it happens further up inside the nose. On the exterior, your nose would look normal. But on the inside, you'd be able to stick a finger up one nostril, bend it back down and stick it out the other nostril.

I have actually seen a picture of someone with one enormous nostril from coke use, and it was the foulest thing I've ever seen. I wish I had the link.
And that is the least of your worries if you use that crap, believe me.

You can bet your *** that it can...and will. I'm 50 years old and more or less grew up using cocaine, and snorting coke most certainly burns a hole through the nasal septum...and it doesn't take that long to happen if you're a regular user. Cocaine is classified as a Salt...and sniffing regular table-salt through your nasal passages will end with the same results.

It does eat the cartilage in your nose and will happen after lots of nosebleeds. You won"t notice it on the outside of your nose. The stuff they are cutting coke with would eat through a carburetor with prolonged use. So don"t use if this is concerning you personally!Be smart don"t do drugs!!

I heard Stevie Nicks from the band Fleetwood Mac say in an interview that this almost happened to her - she'd done so much coke that her doctor told her she'd nearly destroyed her septum. Unless Stevie's doc was just trying to scare the bejeezus out of her so she'd quit using, I guess that means it can really happen.

I doubt anything THAT drastic will happen. But it does destroy the tissue inside your nostrils. It irritates your nasal passages, sometimes permanently. There's a lot of damage you can do to your nose as a direct result of it even after you quit doing that (if by chance its stopped))

Yes, this happened to someone I know. It eats a hole thru the wall of the nose. Huge nosebleeds will be the first sign of this.

Yes I have heard that it can eat a large hole in your nose and brain...Remember that commercial for drugs that had a frying pan with a egg frying in the pan!!!That`s true!!!

Perhaps, I guess the harsh chemicals in this drug breaks down that portion of the nose.
