Is it possible to stick a match in your nose?

Of course it's possible to stick a match up your nose, but why would anyone want to do that?Now, if you meant "strike a match inside your nose", then that sounds much more reasonable.Matches need enough friction to ignite the chemicals on the match head. It is unlikely that the mucous membranes inside your nose have enough friction. Besides...the chemicals on a match head should not come in contact with any part of your face.
