Basically, pickling is not a dangerous thing for health. This activity becomes dangerous if you do it too often. Yes, maybe at first you intend to remove dirt that clogs your nose, so you pick your nose using your fingers. But, without realizing it, you might do it because you are used to it and feel comfortable if you pick your nose. This habit will be harmful to your health. What are the bad effects of frequent nosy habits?
Bad impact due to frequent pickling
1. Frequent nosebleeds infect the nostrils
Infections in the nostrils are most likely to occur due to the habit of picking nose. Most people pick noses with their fingers. When the finger inserted into the nostrils is not clean and full of bacteria, the bacteria can move from the inside of the nose. This will increase the likelihood of a person experiencing a vestibulus infection - the upper part of the nose which is quite sensitive.
2. Cause boils on the inner nose
Not only that, bacteria and germs can affect and infect the hair part of the nose follicle. This nasal follicle hair serves to filter out impurities from the air that enters the nose. If this part is disturbed, then the nose can no longer properly filter out the impurities that enter through inhaled air.
The most common bacteria found when someone picks a nose is Staphylococcus Aureus. This type of bacteria can cause acne or boils in your nostrils. When zits or pimples form inside the nose, the airways will become blocked and affect your respiratory system.
3. At risk of experiencing a nosebleed
Nosebleeds or discharge from the nostrils are also a side effect of frequent nosy habits. This condition is most often and often occurs in children. When picking noses with a finger, finger nails can injure the inside of the nose then cause sores and bleeding. This will increase the chance for infection in the nostrils.
4. Septal perforation
Septal perforation is a condition where the right and left nostrils are open or injured. Too often picking your nose or accidentally picking your nose too deeply can cause someone to experience this. Usually this septal perforation will cause nosebleeds and in severe cases, it is necessary to do surgery to treat it.
5. Dirty and unsightly
Habits often picking up are bad habits. Not only because it affects the function and shape of the nose, because overall this habit will cause many germs and bacterial diseases. You may not realize you have been picking up, then don't get used to washing your hands and using those hands to do other activities. In fact, there are lots of bacteria and germs in your nostrils that can cause you to get an infectious disease.
In addition to being dirty and can cause infectious diseases, frequent nosy habits are also considered impolite, let alone do it in public. It is not impossible that you will be a talk and joke object for the people around you.
