This might sound disgusting, and like, very gross, but it’s sure to have you trippin, so yo, listen close. . .

You can choose your nose and you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your friend’s nose. (Just a bit of rhinoplasty humor)

Relax! Don’t do it! Don’t pick your nose and chew it!

Maybe a more useful reminder about digit jamming, esp this time of year, is to be mindful of surface transmissible viruses, like flu, which is re-invigorated and back on tour! Saliva isn’t a fertile medium for such critters, but all the mucus membranes like eyes and nose love it! Now that we’ve ended our obsessions over surface cleaning, colds and flu are not just back, but duping you into thinking you might have a transmissible case of covid. Thanks but NOPE.

I’m sure someone somewhere has come up with an efficient, non-digital way of cleaning nasal deposits, something like those teapots for clearing sinuses. Any suggestions?

And even if you don’t like the teapots, there are many different types of squeeze bottles available, too.

Of course, for someone like myself who has chronic nasal polyps, some days just require some rubbing alcohol and a pair of tweezers to deal with stubborn carbuncles.

Dr. Patch Adams of the Gesundheit Institute in West Virginia only poses for photos if folks pick their nose, to prevent commercial exploitation of the images/association.
Of course, that only works if the person taking the selfie with him has any pride…
