About the picking the nose thing: If you think you're going to, try to stop yourself. Carry Kleenex in your pocket or something.

About the nosebleeds: I get that too, mainly when the weather is really dry, so that's nothing bad.

&hearts; Honestly. Like what THEOLDONE said;; Its totally natural. your suppossed to. I pick my nose. haha. I just dont do it in public. Like you said I also dont " dig for gold " and eat it & all that nasty stuff. But dont worry about it. If you feel like you HAVE to and it becomes a serious serious habit and You cant help but do it in public, then something may be wrong like obsessive compulsiveness. I highly dought that though.

Happy picking! just kidding.

I'm not sure if this is a troll question, but I'll give you a serious answer.

Everyone does it; it's a biological necessity. If you didn't, your nostrils would fill up and impair your breathing.

It's no accident that the human finger is just the right size to fit in a nostril, just as it's not a coincidence that even our little fingers are too big to actually enter our ear canals. These are evolutionary developments, survival factors; they allow us to keep breathing and to avoid destroying our eardrums.

Something funny: did you know that cats *lick* their nostrils clean? Look at a cat's nose sometime. Their nostrils are slitted, and the tips of their tongues fit perfectly in the slots. Yucky, but true.

It's socially unacceptable in most (but not all) human cultures to publicly pick your nose, though, so the answer is simple: do it in the bathroom. Make sure your hands are clean before you do it, or better still, use a tissue. Picking your nose with dirty hands is a great way to catch a lot of colds.

A Q-tip can also be a useful tool, particularly the very large safety ones that are made to use on babies.

As for nosebleeds, the most common treatment is cauterization. That can be somewhat painful, but it's usually a permanent solution.

However, you may be able to reduce the frequency of nosebleeds by having a humidifier on in your room when you sleep, particularly in winter. Winter air is extremely dry, and it dries out the mucous membranes of your nostrils and sinuses. A humidifier will correct that problem. Remember that it's important to read the maintenance instructions for the humidifier and follow them - a dirty humidifier can definitely cause health problems. They're usually not hard to clean.

Good luck!

its not sad everyone does it even if they say they dont they do...its a natural thing just dont do it in public go to the wash room and then wash your hands after...as for the nose bleeds it could be from the change in climate maybe it is to dry in your house because i know sometimes that could be the issue....but whatever you do I HOPE IT HELPS
GOOD LUCK
