Stop? Why? Sometimes you gotta clean your nose and evolution has given you 8 great tools to do that.

Nahman.

Following text is very disgusting! Do NOT read if you‘re eating or want to eat!

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Best feeling when you got a 4 inch long slimy boy with some blood clots in it at a single pull and when you can feel it moving in your head. And the smelling in 4KUHD afterwards 👌 :::

I warned you.

Yuck!

::: spoiler More spoiler But thanks for the reminder. It almost makes me want to break my nose to chase the feeling. :::

I'm fine with people picking their noses. But we can't be friends if you're eating it, sorry!

I just now don't eat my boogers. I am miner though. Like poops I sometimes observe each specimen.

My younger sister had this issue! (and would also sometimes eat it 🤢). Did it until her first year of high school.

My mom borrowed a microscope for our schooling, and my little sister had the funny idea to put a booger on a slide to take a look.

We both looked and were absolutely horrified at what we saw that day. Never saw her pick her nose ever again.

I once read that humans pick by nature because the sinuses are a filter, and then the tonsils can sample that filter for germs to strengthen itself without getting fully sick.

I am not a nosepicking scientist tho so idk, take it with a grain of booger

She stopped returning my calls because she caught me in a pick at a light.

When I started getting nose hairs. Now I pluck those suckers and they bring anything else out with them.

I should also point out that when I get my hair cut, the barber also does a wax removal.

I recommend to not plug them out. It can lead to mini infections creating nasty painful pickles pimples inside your nose.

Get a nose hair trimmer instead.

Edit: I just realized I accidentally used the German word for pimple. No, there wouldn't magically manifest pickles inside your nose, just by plugging some hairs. But I'm certain there is some kind of parallel universe, where this might happen.

With a username like that I can only assume a level of expertise I cannot reach as I am follicle-ly challenged. I shall take your advice on board 😊

Do children not have nose hairs? That seems off, I thought only people with certain alopecias were the only ones without nose hair

I never had nose hair that bothered me until my mid 30's. I think that may be what they mean. I now trim all the time. Otherwise, my nose gets super itchy. I also have no idea how people pull them... hurts so much.

i have AA, and it would fall of easily, but it has grown long since then,

lemmy.world

Ah, gotcha. But I definitely read an IAMA on Reddit once of someone with universalis and they lamented the fact they dont have them, wishing they did

1

it oddly grew super long during the pandemic, with mask wearing, im guessing it was preventing sneezing, which would dislodged hairs occasionally, the sneeze is forceful enough to rip the hairs off, also plus AA weakens the follicle.

Dealing with nasal vestibulitis right now, not sure from over picking or dealing with being sick 24/7 from my daughters daycare. Took a while to figure out what was wrong with my nose. Hopefully wont be picking it much after that!

You can get a nail polish like thing that tastes gross (but is non-toxic) to stop the habit of absent mindedly picking

3

That is probably the case - have only heard about this product 2nd hand.

Not sure, I've never used it. I assume it's supposed to tackle step 1 of the nose pick by making step 2 taste bad.

That seems to be what people in this thread are reporting if you read the comments.

So are you going to get the anti-pick nail polish? You seem very interested.

anything to do with the nose disgusts me for some reason if i touch it i gotta go wash my hands

3

sometimes it becomes so itchy from allergies, im forced to do it.

2

Pretty sure it was teenage insecurity. Who would ever love a nose-picker? Little did I know...

Cool that I'm one of the few that don't now, though.

Just give them jalapeños. Have them play with the "fruit" for as long as they want.

I did this by accident once with chillies. Some mates and I deseeded hundreds of chillies from a chilli plant with our fingers.

Obviously we had no idea what we were doing and we paid for it in pain anywhere we touched with our hands.
