  • Remove the swab and hold the handle end in your hand (do not set it down), then tilt your head back and fully insert the swab tip into the nostril until you feel resistance
  • Roll the swab 5 times around the inside of the nostril, making sure the swab touches the walls of the nostril as you rotate. Then repeat for the other nostril
