There have been many reports of `` nasal stones, '' such as bone fragments and blood clots, hard boogers, plant seeds, beads, buttons, etc. It can be traced back to 1654. A 2007 study reported that ' opium wrapped in a nylon sheet' became a nasal stone and was removed from the back of an adult male nose. However, drug dealers and smugglers often “swallow the drug and hide it in the stomach” to make it easier to remove, and rarely bother to hide it in the nostrils. Therefore, the case where narcotics are taken out from the back of the nose as a stone is very rare.

In addition, when a man was shown some stones taken from a doctor and received some questions, he seemed to have remembered that his nose was stuffed with marijuana 18 years ago. Three months after surgery, the man reported to his doctor that the sinusitis he had suffered for more than 10 years was completely cured.
