What are the harms of nose picking? After understanding these 3 effects, will you still pick your nose?

Nostril is an important part of the respiratory tract. The nose hair and mucous membrane in the nostril play a positive role in purifying and moisturizing the air. However, many people often have some bad habits. For example, they like to take their nostrils with their hands when nothing is wrong. Such habits will not only bring bad effects on their nostrils, but also have a great harm to their health. So, if you pick your nostrils frequently, what adverse effects will it bring to your body? These three effects are more obvious, and it is important to quit such bad habits as soon as possible.

1. Causes nasal mucosal bleeding

The nasal mucosa is very weak. If you frequently dig by hand, it may cause mucosal bleeding. Some people feel that removing the nasal mucus inside the nostrils after scabs can ensure the nostrils are clean. In fact, this is not the case, because the nails will directly cause irritation to the mucous membrane in the nostrils while repeatedly scratching. Inattention can also directly cause the mucous membrane to be scratched. There are latent blood vessels under the mucous membrane of the nostril, which will bleed once it is cut. So, in order not to damage this layer of nasal mucosa, try not to pick your nostrils with your hands.

2. Causes intracranial infection

Many people will find it very strange, why after the mucous membrane is injured, it will cause intracranial injury? This is because the nostrils are connected to the nerves and blood vessels in the skull, especially the nasal area has a "dangerous triangle". If this area is infected, some harmful germs can use these crisscross blood vessels to reach other parts of the body. The site, including the intracranial, so when you pick your nostril with your hands, it is likely to bring germs into the submucosal blood vessels in the nose due to unhygienic nails, and then use the blood vessels to cause intracranial infection.

3. Causes respiratory tract infection

As mentioned earlier, the nostrils are also an important part of the respiratory tract. If there is a problem with the nostril, then the air sucked into the body There may be a problem, either too dry or mixed with other harmful substances. If these substances enter the lungs, they will cause lung infections, which in turn will cause infections of the entire respiratory tract. Therefore, the mucous membranes and nose hairs in the nostrils are not superfluous. They all have their own mission. Don't have anything to do to destroy them, and ultimately damage your own health.
