Why do people like to pick their noses?
1, physiological needs
The nose is the product of human metabolism. When it is located in a certain position in the nasal cavity and affects breathing, it will be taken out. Poor breathing and foreign body sensation in the nose can make people crazy.
2. Psychological needs
Picking your nose is sour and refreshing. If you haven't tried, you may never have the same experience. It is simply a typical representative of this moment forever.
Will nasal polyps be blown out?
Picking your nose does not directly pick out nasal polyps, but it can indirectly cause nasal polyps. There are many invisible germs under people's nails, which are sharp and hard. When people pick their noses, it is easy to accidentally damage the nasal mucosa, leading to bleeding.
After the wound appears, picking your nose will directly introduce bacteria into the wound, leading to rhinitis, even nosebleeds due to the destruction of nasal capillaries, and finally lead to nasal polyps.
What are the disadvantages of picking your nose?
1, infection risk
People's nails will carry bacteria into the nasal cavity, which is easy to cause nasal infection. Even if you dig your nose carefully, it will cause slight damage to the nasal mucosa. In the long run, it will not only reduce the defensive function of the nasal cavity, but also cause infection.
2, nosebleeds
The nasal mucosa is rich in capillaries, and often picking the nose will hurt the nasal mucosa and easily lead to nosebleeds. Some nosebleeds even cause persistent bleeding, which takes 1 to 2 weeks to recover.
3. Atrophic rhinitis
Frequently picking your nose will lead to atrophy of nasal mucosa, decrease of secretion and decline of nasal defense skills, which may lead to a series of respiratory diseases.
