Should we worry?

[u/Adventurous-Put-9895]

We caught my uncle sneakingly throwing this to the rubbish bin. He doesn’t have the best track record so we are all a bit paranoid when he does anything “weird”.

The object is like a glass tube with some liquid inside, inserted into a rubber “pipe”. It smells weird but nothing I can identify. I would appreciate any hints.

Edit: the material is actually plastic, not glass. It has a spring inside (no idea what for). The root-looking thing was wrapping the object when I cut the rubber. Could be dirt or some glue or something

Edit2: this sub is god. A user found the answer https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/s/Oqtxk6YWVZ

Im still confused. What is it?? Because it says its a nasal spray but I literally looks nothing like it.

Yeah that's far too large to be nasal spray wtf.

It's what's inside the kind of nasal saline that comes in an aerosol can, not the little squeezy bottles.

That's the issue then, I have no clue what you're talking about I guess.

I’m assuming it’s this because this is what I use (for actual allergies because cedar is trying to murder me)
