I had a Japanese beetle hit me in that area between the bottom of my nose and the top of my lip (anyone know what this is called?).

I thought I would have a broken tooth or something. Even though I was going about 50 it was one of those things that happen in slow motion. I saw it coming at me but could not get out of the way.

I kill them and fire ants whenever I can. Just sayin'

The precise medical term for that area is called " area between the bottom of my nose and the top of my lip".

If you have a mustache is also called " where the boogers collect".

Ask any nurse, she will tell you
