Rudolph is probably the most well-known celebrity in the world that has a red nose, but why does he appear to have been afflicted with this? Well, it seems that scientists in Norway have a bit too much time on their hands as they have spent time trying to work out what exactly is going on with his nose. However, maybe all of their hard work is not in vain, as they have claimed that they have indeed managed to come up with something.

According to the scientists, they state that it would be most likely caused by a parasitic infection in the nasal area. Yep, it really is as boring as that, but then what else did you expect? The problem is that it would hardly make for a good Christmas story if it had to include the term ‘parasitic infection.’
