I see people pick their nose and blow their mucous on to the ground. Is that medically safe?


Question:
Even saw Andre Agassi blow his mucous out during the US Open tennis match on TV

Is it true that picking makes your nose fat

Is there anything you can do to help people/kids stop doing it

Answers:
It's safe for anyone who is doing it, but it's gross for the rest of us. I have no clue why anyone would actually think that it would make your nose fat. Probably something a mother told her child who was picking their nose to discourage it. If you think about it, the ground is dirty with or without mucous on it, dogs urinate on it, we walk on it... If you want someone to stop picking their nose the most effective way to do it is to embarrass them, they will certainly never forget it, it is one of the most disgusting habits I can think of.
What do you mean by "medically safe"? It won't cause you to drop dead, if that's what you mean.
