An Australian astrophysicist who hoped to
create a device to help stop people catching
the coronavirus has ended up in hospital -
after getting magnets stuck up his nose.

Dr Daniel Reardon came up with a plan to
create a necklace which would react if your
hands were near your face.
Unfortunately, the device did not work quite as
planned.
"My invention had the opposite effect – it
buzzed continuously until a magnet was put
close."
'I knew I was in trouble'
"I had a laugh and gave up temporarily," he told
the BBC.
"Then I started mindlessly placing the
magnets on my face. First my ear lobes, then
my nostrils – like a magnetic piercing.
"The problem was when I put magnets in my
other nostril.
They all pinched together, and the
ones on my septum got stuck!"
The university research fellow remained calm,
however.
"At first it hurt, but I wasn’t too stressed," he
said. "I started to get more and more stressed
when I realised it wasn’t going to be trivial to
remove them.

"Then, after using my last two magnets in a
futile attempt to remove the magnets, and
getting those stuck too,

I knew I was in trouble."
But he was still determined to get out of the
sticky situation by himself: he turned to pliers,
but that came with its own challenges.

The power of attraction
"The pliers kept getting attracted to my nose,
and the force of my nose being pulled was also
painful."
It was at this point he realised he would have to
make a trip to his local hospital in Melbourne -
the same hospital his partner works at.

"They thought it was great, particularly the
doctors that know my partner," he said.
"They
came past to have a laugh and ask 'why were
you putting magnets in your nose?!'"
Luckily for him,
the doctors were able to finally
free the magnets, and he left hospital relatively
unscathed.
As for his device - well, that has been put on
the back-burner for now.
"I think I’ll give up
and let someone more qualified give it a go," he
laughed.
