🚨STUDY: PICK YOUR NOSE... GET DEMENTIA

Turns out, nose picking isn’t just embarrassing—it might actually mess with your brain!

Scientists found that if you damage the inside of your nose (like from digging around too much), certain bacteria can sneak into your brain.

Once they’re in there, they cause changes that look a lot like Alzheimer’s disease (a condition that affects memory and thinking).

Basically, your nose is like a “No Entry” zone for germs, and nose-picking opens the door wide.

Plucking nose hairs? That’s like giving germs a VIP pass straight to your brain.

So, unless you want to give bacteria a free ride, maybe leave your nose alone.
