    Sticking the swab up there is uncomfortable, and when I have taken the tests I have had to stick it up both sides of the nose not just one. Typically one side of your nose might have a larger passageway and easier to put up there than the other side.

    Other than a little eye watering never had a problem and I have taken maybe a dozen of these tests.
