It was an ordinary morning (it could be noon, afternoon, evening, it didn't matter), everything was so calm and peaceful...
suddenly! An inexplicable itch rushes from the nostrils to the brain, and you wrinkle your nose and find a subtle foreign body feeling deep in the nostrils. Your heart has realized that the time is ripe, and an inexplicable impulse makes you slowly raise your hand and raise your index finger.
The upper lip pulls down slightly and adducts, allowing the nostrils to fully expand, and the fingers that have been eager to reach deep into the nostrils, groping and searching in the nostrils, rotating, rubbing, and then pulling outwards violently... A lump of snot sticks to your fingers and you dig it out.
Psychological sense of accomplishment and physical pleasure at the same time impact your central nervous system, ah, dig nose, is cool!

The author wants to talk about the matter of snot-digging in a serious way, first of all, it is not to prevent you from continuing to be cool, even if you have more abnormal hobbies, such as like eating the snot that has just been dug out, or like to shoot the snot that has just been dug out to others... It doesn't matter.
Seeking coolness is human nature, can not stop, the author here just want to discuss with you, how to be healthier and longer "cool" down.
People who are familiar with the author's style (Tencent Medical Code basically has my article every Tuesday) know that the author very much hopes that every time I write medical and health science content, I can outline some interesting historical materials from the vast river of history to increase the style of the topic.
Therefore, this time about the content of digging nose, the author also went to check the historical data...
Burning goose, it is shocking that I can't find this material; and what is even more shocking is that in the process of finding historical materials, the author actually found a book called "The History of Nose Digging"!!
Written by an American named Roland Fret, who claims to work at St. Cilia University in California, the book is an elaborate account of the entire history of human nose-digging.
For example, the book introduces the origin of the act of nose-digging, and the earliest image data describing the behavior of nose-digging is traced back to the ancient Egyptian culture in 4075 BC, and it is said that there are images of nose-digging on the frescoes in the tomb of Boy-King Pik'n-likun, the little king of ancient Egypt...

The earliest written record of digging nose and droppings appeared in the diary of the famous "snot general" in ancient Rome, in 198 AD, this general had been stationed in an important fortress in northern England, and found that some soldiers actually dug their noses when standing guard, so they recorded in the log: Rome showed that it must obey the emperor's orders, must not dig the nose, and can only wipe the nose with a robe in the future.
In the Battle of Hastings in 1066, king Harold, a hardcore nose-digging enthusiast, vigorously promoted the habit of digging nose, and it was this habit that caused him to fidget at the critical moment of the war command because a large piece of nose could not be dug out, unable to concentrate, and finally was taken advantage of by the opponent Norman archers, and shot it with an arrow, which can be found in the pattern on the famous Bayeux Tapestry.
Duke William of Normandy, who defeated The snuff-digging enthusiast King Harold, was eventually crowned King of England, and king William registered and issued the "Decree Nosi", which forbade subjects to dig their noses in public and behead those who violated the order. In order to prevent soldiers from digging their nostrils when preparing for war, the British at that time also specially made "chain gloves" to prevent soldiers from inserting their fingers into their nostrils. This prohibition on snot-digging was not abolished until the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215.
……
The author of the whole book read it in one fell swoop, and only then did I really understand what it meant to be a serious nonsense... However, the historical evolution of the whole snot is justified and well-founded, citing scriptures, and trying to refute it but finding no evidence... Just be happy, look at the pastimes.
To tell the truth, the historical record of digging nose, really there is none.
Book restoration, what is the snot we dig out?
Everyone in the world produces snot, even the fairy sister and the flower beauty man.

Snot is not the pulled by the nose, it seems a bit like nonsense, but the snot is indeed a kind of waste that forms within the nasal cavity.
If you analyze the composition of the snot, you will find that it is nothing more than a mixture of nasal mucus, dust, bacteria and bacterial corpses, immune cells and immune cells sticking to each other. This mixture is air-dried and becomes a scab, forming a snot. Some of the mixtures are dug up before they can air dry, and they will appear wet and sticky.
One of the functions of the human nose is to secrete mucus, that is, snot.
The immune cells in the nasal slug can kill the bacterial virus, and the corpses of these bacterial viruses, together with the dead immune cells, are mostly sent to the throat eye to be swallowed, and the other part of the muscular snot is not transported to the throat by the nasal mucosa, but retrograde to the nostrils, the air dries and becomes sticky, and it becomes snot (and snotic gaba).
Therefore, it is normal for people to have a moderate amount of snot in their nasal cavity. Sometimes, if you are in an environment with more dust, the snot will become more, and if you are in a very dry environment, the snot will become very hard because of air drying. These are normal phenomena.
Seriously, there are, and your fingers that dig out your nose can become a dangerous weapon.
1. Damage to nose hair
Nose hair is the first barrier to dust, bacteria and viruses from entering the human body. Frequently digging up the nose and picking the nose will cause the nose hair to fall off, and even make the hair follicles of the nose hair inflamed, reducing the blocking effect of the nose hair on dust and bacteria.
2. Traumatic nosebleeds
The nasal mucosa is rich in capillaries, and the fingers dig frequently and vigorously, easily causing damage or bleeding. Especially in the spring and autumn, the climate is relatively dry, the nasal mucosa and mucosal capillaries are relatively fragile, and it is easy to bleed due to nose droppings.
3. Intracranial infection, life-threatening
People's nail seams will carry bacteria, and when digging up the nose, it is easy to bring bacteria into the front of the nose and other parts, causing nasal infection, inducing nasal vestibulitis, boils and so on. Due to the facial triangle, such purulent infections may pass through the anterior, superior, and present veins of the eye into the cavernous sinuses in the skull, causing inflammation of the cavernous sinuses.
If such intracranial infections are not effectively controlled, they are likely to be life-threatening.
Please scientifically dig up the nose, source: Stand Cool Helo
So, what exactly is the correct posture for digging up the nose?
Well, wash your hands, make sure your nails aren't too long or sharp, and then gently dig in. Note that washing your hands is the focus of the focus.
In addition, you can use sea salt water to moisten and soften the nose, so that it is easy to dig some, and it is not easy to bring down a clump of nose hair.
