I’m convinced that I have the world’s longest nose hair, 0.82 inch. If you can beat that, let me know. If you can’t, how can I get recorded? ---

You lose, there are people out there with much longer. ---

Couldn’t find any records for nose hair, but I did find this: [World’s Longest Nipple Hair.](http://jayrey.blogspot.com/2005/10/worlds-longest-nipple-hair.html) My guess is that your .82" entry doesn’t even make the top 100… ---

First of all, you are disgusting. Second of all, my brother has nose hair that grows into his moustasche that I’m sure would beat you, but I’m not getting anywhere near to measuring it. Get some swiss-army-knife scissors and go to work! ---

I can pull out 15 nosehairs with one yank. That should count for something too, right?!? ---

Neither the book of website of Guinness World Records, Ltd. shows a record for nose hair. (There is one for ear hair, though). If you wish to submit your record to Guinness, you can always visit their website, which is at [guinnessworldrecords.com](http://guinnessworldrecords.com). I believe Guinness requires photographic and video evidence, I’m sure the website will tell you. ---

Sweet! It’s more that just holding the record. It’s also there will be other people who will be gunning to break my record. PS - Not sure how this topic is mundane, and discussions of animal excrement is not. No big deal; I got my question answered and few challenges to boot. PSS - Sorry for the disgusting factor. I tell my wife that the nose hairs are man-eating women repellant. Right, she doesn’t buy it either.
