i got nose fucked dec '21, but after they'd stopped jamming it up to your brain. i was ready to slap the nurse's hand away the moment it hurt, and she stopped after just the swab part was in my nostril. i asked "That's it? I was worried you were gonna jam it up there." and she said they'd stopped going way up the nasal cavity.

this was TX, so there may've been some pushback more than other states.
