Ok so here's the kinda crazy part. I'm a sideshow and fire performer. I've suffered large burns, I can drill into my sinus cavity, I had my tongue surgically split, I staple myself with an upholstery stapler all the time.

Nothing has beat dental pain.

Sorry, what? You drill into your sinus cavity? What does that mean?

It's called blockhead

I do it with icepicks, nails, and even power drills. I can also mental floss, in which a tube goes in the nose and out the mouth, though I'm still new to that one. Power drills are very uncomfortable and have caused the most nosebleeds.

That's super cool! I knew a guy that would eat small ropes and pull it out his nose but... Wow that is next level. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, that's actually harder! Reverse mental floss

Wow. I'm super interested.
