FUN FACT: As many as 91 percent of the population picks their noses from time to time. 👃
It’s a dirty little habit that many participate in, and few would admit to. As many asof the population picks their noses from time to time. Many people do it to remove the dry nasal mucus, namely boogers, that can build up and irritate the nose.

found that nose picking, known scientifically as rhinotillexis, is documented in at least 12 species of primates., a lemur with big eyes and strikingly long fingers, descends its pickers into the nasal cavity all the way down to the pharynx. Gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans are also guilty of picking their noses in a pinch. It’s not clear why so many primates pick, especially considering the gross fact that, as documented in the study, many ate their findings.
