Here are some guidelines to consider.
- Clip your fingernails. You want to gently budge the booger out, not scrape it out. Scraping creates openings for bacteria and viruses to enter your tissues.
- Consciously focus on what you are doing. Picking your nose habitually or because you’re bored and are mindlessly occupying your hands is not proper nose-picking. Pay attention.
- Wash your hands before you pick. Make sure there is no dirt underneath your fingernails, even if they are cut short.
- Don’t go deeper than your finger can reach. You’re just cleaning out the part of the nose you can see in a mirror; you’re not doing surgery.
- Get to know your nose. So long as you’re up there, consider giving yourself a nasal massage.
- Dispose of the booger properly. This means don’t pet the dog, or rub it off on the arm of the couch. Never flick it at someone unless they give prior consent.
- Wash you hands again. No need to share your nasal contents with others.
- Do not insert anything into your nose besides your finger. Avoid inserting cotton swabs, tweezers, or other hard objects.
- Be aware that boogers are excretions that contain air impurities, allergens, and dust. If you choose to consume the booger, you’re on your own. Bon appetite!
