DONT USE VASELINE ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR NOSE OR INHALE!! Can I just say for everybody reading this DO NOT!! Use vaseline on the inside of your nose!! And without a doubt DONT!! sniff Vaseline like a couple of people have suggested. Ingesting or even inhaling Vaseline can be life threatening, when vaseline comes in contact with fats and oils which your skin contains, it dissolves much worse the lining of your nose, lungs and mouth do not contain oils causing the vaseline to stay intact and collect. So inhaling vaseline collects in your lungs causing life threatening pneumonia, also known as lipoid pneumonia. Due to it being caused by excess oils in the lungs it causes severe inflammation. Also meaning it’s is extremely hard to treat. Don’t use vaseline on the inside of your nose!!
