Were you playing "Nose Poker?"
I guess I'm not understanding how, exactly, some "sharpish, black card" went into your nose.
Well, it's really none of my business....................
You did not have a risk and you do not need to test.
You do, however, need to stop insterting sharp objects into your snout.
