According to Chinese media such as Sohu Dotcom and Sina Finance, A, a man living in Shenyang City, Shaanxi Province, had a habit of picking his nose with his fingers.
When standing, sitting, and lying in bed, he always put his fingers in his nostrils.
It was a habit that had existed since childhood.
Recently, he started to have a nosebleed while he was picking his nose. He and his wife headed to the hospital because the blood didn't stop after all the methods had been taken.'
The examination revealed ruptured intranasal arteries and blood vessels and underwent emergency surgery.
Sharing these experiences on social media, the man's wife tried to break her husband's bad habit of picking his nose, to no avail. As a result, I never thought I would even be hospitalized,' he said."I hope others will learn from this and abandon their bad habits.'
This habit of excessive nostrils can damage the nasal mucosa and increase the risk of infection.
If there is a wound on the mucous membrane of the nose, fine dust, bacteria, and viruses are likely to penetrate into the body. In addition, if you dig your nose with an unclean hand, there is a risk of bacteria in your hand penetrating through nasal wounds. Recently, studies have shown that if the inside of the nostril is damaged due to nose digging, bacteria permeate into the blood and move directly to the brain, increasing the risk of dementia.
