A lot of people get their nose hairs waxed. I think you'll be fine.

Hi Grey Dolphin - welcome to the forum first of all. Happy to have you here.
Many people pluck their nose hairs and get them waxed as well, and as far as I know, they haven’t gotten meningitis from it. A friend I have on another forum said unless you’re exposed to the meningitis virus itself or bacteria that causes meningitis, there isn’t a way you can get it.
I think you should be just fine. Hope you can find comfort in this post

Thank you so much I was just wondering does that mean I should take any precautions or use anything on my nose at or is just A case of going about my normal routine?

Ok I’m freaking out again I’ve got a doctors appointment today but what if I catch something there I really don’t what do is there anything I can do to prevent infection

Not everybody who visits a doctor has to be ill. Some go for other things. If a person was very ill they might have a doctor visit them. Because they would be too ill to visit the doctor. That is how it works over here. We have D Doc. If you are too ill, you call the D Doc out to your house. Been to the regular doctors many a time over the years and never picked up anything at all.

Ok thanks I was just stressing because apparently I might be more prone atm to picking things up and I just don’t know what to do about my nose

Just stick to your normal routine and explain to your doctor what you did and what your concerns are. They can best address the likeliness of anything happening, as well as give you an evaluation.
Good luck at your doctor's appt today
