Please don't try this at home

An astrophysicist wound up in the hospital with magnets stuck up his nose, after attempting to invent a coronavirus device that would warn the wearer if they were about to touch their face, the Guardian reports.

Daniel Reardon, a research fellow at a Melbourne university, said he put magnets on the inside and outside of his nose, but the two inside stuck together. He then used the remaining magnets to try to remove them, but they locked on to the ones that were already up there.

According to hospital records, “two doctors applied an anaesthetic spray and manually removed the magnets,” the Guardian reports.

Reardon told the Guardian he is done with magnets, and will find other ways to pass the time at home.
