Can Rubbing The Nose After Pressing The Garage Button Disfigure The Nose?

default
Posted on Fri, 14 Jul 2023
Question: Can pressing button to close garage then rubbing nose with same hand that pressed garage button (to close garage) cause any change in shape, position, depth of any part of nose or entire nose? Green light on garage door opener button, can this green light harm or cause any physical changes to hand or nose? Thanks! Thinking it’s a paranoid thought.

Brief Answer:
The button or hand would not affect the nose, the light has no effect either.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

No, it cannot cause any change to the structure, depth or position of the nose or any of the related structures.

It would not have any effect on these structures. The nose is comprised of both bone and cartilage and cannot be altered by rubbing. It also would not be altered by a light on the garage opener.

The light would not affect the hand either.

Hope this reassures you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

So pressing the garage door opener/closer button with hand then rubbing nose with same hand that pressed garage button (to close garage door) cannot cause any change in position, shape, depth of any part of nose or entire nose or slant or make nose or any part of nose more crooked?

Brief Answer:
No, it would not.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

No, this would not cause any changes at all.

If it did, there would be many persons who have changes to their nose with this action.

Severe trauma is needed to alter the nose, this is not severe in any way, at all.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Even if the garage door opener is battery operated or electronic, this situation described above would not cause any change in position, shape, depth of any part of nose or entire nose or cause any slanting of nose or any part of nose (septum, bridge, etc).? Thanks.
