If You Pick Your Nose, You Should Probably Stop Now. This is How Dangerous It Can Be.
We all do it from time to time. We feel an itch or scratch and the next thing we know, we’re sticking our fingers up our noses. But did it ever occur to you that it might actually be dangerous? Here’s why you might want to think twice before going after that next booger.
