Did you mom once joked that popping a pimple could lead to brain damage? Well, it seems that mother really knows what's best.

There's a certain area on our face that when abused could put your life in danger.

The 'Dangerous Triangle of the Face' is visualized by imagining a triangle with the top point about at the bridge of the nose and the two lower points on either corner of the mouth.

What makes it dangerous is due to the channels of blood supply from the corners of the mouth to the bridge of the nose. So when you pluck those nasal hairs, it like letting some unwanted intruders into your nasal cavity, sinuses, and even your brain causing cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis or brain abscess.

Furthermore, a blood clot here can be devastating which could cut off blood flow to the cavernous sinus and pinches off flows to the rest of your brain.
