It’s great to pick your nostrils? Be careful to dig out the problem!

Can I dig my nostrils? Is it not very good to pick your nostrils often?

It’s really not good.

Some people may think that it is just a digging of nostrils, and it will be fine without digging injuries. In fact, sometimes there is no pain in digging, and slight bruises are often caused.

If you break it and shed some blood, if there are no other big problems, it is only necessary. However, this is likely to reduce the defense function of the nasal cavity, and bacteria will have the opportunity to invade and cause infection.

What is more serious is that picking nostrils may cause intracranial infection and even endanger life.

Human nasal veins and intracranial veins are interlinked, and there is no barrier in the middle. If bacteria enter the nasal cavity when picking nostrils, causing nasal cavity infection, then pathogenic bacteria may enter the intracranial cavity through veins, causing intracranial infection, which may even be fatal in serious cases.

What if the nose itches and feels uncomfortable after that? In addition to rough digging, we can actually clean gently.

When washing your face, you can use flowing water to clean your nasal cavity. You can also put a humidifier at home to increase the air humidity and make your nose more comfortable.
