Watch: Episode 2: Why does it hurt to get water up your nose?

Springtime means terrible allergies, and your doctor might suggest shooting water up your nose with a neti pot.

STAT investigates that question in the new episode of Boddities, which asks questions about the body’s weird habits. Take two minutes and find out about the war being waged inside your nose.
