[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. For years, DH has gotten sick with whatever DS brings home from school. Part of it is just his system. The other part of it is that he picks his nose. He denies it, but he sort of half scratches, half picks. Either way, I’m convinced it’s why he gets every cold under the sun. [/quote] Why does picking your nose make you get colds?[/quote] Because unless you’ve just seriously washed your hands right before, you are jamming a finger up your nasal passages that is likely covered with every flu or coronavirus or norovirus (the types that cause common cold) that the hand has come in contact with from touching doorknobs, tables, desks, phones, etc. The nasal passages are a terrific environment for a microbe to take root and multiply. So nose picking without proper pre and post wash protocol is absolutely a likely source of disease transmission.[/quote]
