This annoying and silly habit of 'digging gold' is one of the
worst habits that goes un-questioned. This habit is not
only bad for your health but it is also against common
social etiquette. Picking your nose can spread various
infections like cold and flu, as cold virus is passed into
your body through the mucus. After touching several things

land at the doctor's clinic. Hence, stop this awkward habit

over food strands from your mouth.

work. But if this becomes routine, you will damage your
body in the long run. Without 6-8 hours of good sleep, you
are damaging your immune system and other body
processes and systems. Due to lack of sleep, your
immune system becomes weak and thus produces fewer
'germ fighters' - lowering your tolerance for withstanding
common bugs in your environment. To fight against various
