The effects of dye on the human body

I’m always very careful when dyeing things to wipe up the dye and to keep my hands clean so I don’t inadvertently dye the wrong things. I usually use liquid dye because it’s a little easier to control. Yesterday I used a powder because the store didn’t have teal in liquid. The powder tends to float around and turn up in odd places later.

Like my nose. I evidently inhaled a tiny, tiny bit of it because every time I sneeze or blow my nose, it’s bright teal. We’re not talking a little hit of color, oh no. Brilliant, saturated teal. I have not wanted to show the results of blowing my nose this much since I was six years old.

    I’m not sure if I should laugh or feel bad for you. :) Somehow, I think there’s a story here, waiting to be written.

    It’s a little calmer today. Now only my boogers are blue.
