Default Nose Problems

I know I'm probably going to get some "interesting" answers , but here goes: Does anybody else have a problem with their nose itching while riding on their bike? I was riding through the Florida Keys this past week, and there were times when my nose itched so bad, that I could hardly stand it. I actually made sore from scratching it so much. Of course it has done it in the past (not just in the Keys), but it seemed really intense this time. ANY THOUGHTS?

Could be worse, could be your corn hole. Talk about embarrassing.

Anyone who's nose doesn't itch is a mouth breather. :O

If you breath through your nose, it dries out very quickly with the dust and wind. I carry a bottle of saline nasal spray. It helps a bit. Otherwise, full face helmet. Less wind on the face.

My moustache hairs go all up in my shnozz when I have the wimpshield on and it itches like a ****...I'm constantly rubbing my nose. That's the only time. With shield off all is fine.
