The apparatus includes a first and second absorbent masses supported at each end of a flexible horse-shoe shaped member. The adjustable orientation of the first and second absorbent masses at the ends of the flexible horse-shoe shaped member allows the first absorbent mass to be inserted into the left nostril of an individual's nose and the second absorbent mass to be inserted into the right nostril of the individual's nose, and to be retained therein, in order to collect fluid emanating from the nose.
