A bandanna and a SHARP knife constitute First Aid Kit.
I have not left the house with a bandanna since about age 9 |

There was a time when people didn't waste money on paper products. There was no paper napkins and paper towels. And you couldn't always run to or find a bathroom to get TP. If you needed to wipe anything (face, hands, nose) you just used your hanky and threw it in the hamper when you got home. No big deal. Few years back, almost everyone carried a handkerchief.
Also, do you think germs and bacteria show up after you blow your nose? You know that shit is inside your head, right now. Right? <edit> There is more bacteria 1 inch below your chicks snatch than is EVER in your nose. Think that one over.... |

I like having a kerchief, for wiping sweat if nothing else, usually I carry a large Neckerchief (Bandana) but folder in my back pocket, in a pinch if it gets windy and dusty out I can tie it around my face (Do this alot out hunting and on the motorcycles) in a pinch it also will make a touniquet, sling, or bandage

Daily carrier. I can't tell you how many times it's saved my ass, or someone else's.
I'm guessing OP doesn't work with his hands. If you think snot on a rag is disgusting, you'd hate the flight line. Also, when my nose runs in the woods, I don't take a box of tissues out with me. When I work outside, I don't let snot run down my face. It's pretty basic, really. I do grimy, nasty things on a daily basis: I never once worried about my snotty handkerchief. You probably meant to post in this thread. |

I have bad allergies and work in a hot, dusty environment. Kleenex doesn't do well in a sweaty pocket, nor does it clean sweat, or dust from your face. Like previous posts mentioned, it is primarily to clean my face, snot rag as a last resort. Have you ever had snot running down your face, and nothing but your shirt to wipe it with? I have, that's why I always carry a bandanna or handkerchief. It has also been used to tie up bleeding fingers, cover my head in the sun and face when dust is blowing.

It's a great sweat rag, if you are getting those little beads of sweat on your brow during a hot day, its nice to be able to wipe that off and not have it run down your face.
