The cause of his nasal passage problems became apparent after he pulled out the tip of a toy dart, he told the Daily Mail.
“I thought, 'What's this? Where the hell has this come from?' and pulled out this rubber sucker. I was completely blown away,” he said.
Mr Easton quickly told his mother Pat, 77, about his snotty find and was stunned when she said she had actually taken him to hospital when he was seven-years-old after suspecting he had inhaled in toy.
Mrs Easton said: “I took him to the hospital and they spent a lot of time looking for it, but in the end they said perhaps it was a mistake.”
The UK resident visited his doctor after the discovery and was given the all clear.
Mr Easton was still blown away by the dart, which was only mildly decomposed.
“I wonder if there's anything else up there,” he mused.
