John FoleyIt's amazing how many people pick their nose in their car.
Do they pick their nose regularly throughout the day, totally oblivious to who might see them, or are they exhibitionists waiting until they're protected in a glass walled cabin surrounded by a steady, varying flow of onlookers? Could this even be a legitimate subcategory of exhibitionism that I'm not aware of? Like, securhibitionism?

News ViewsPicking Your Nose Leads to Higher Risk of COVID-19
A study published Aug. 2 in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One found that nose-picking among healthcare workers is associated with an increased likelihood of contracting a SARS-CoV-2 infection, which causes COVID.
To conduct the study, researchers analyzed rates of COVID-19 infection among staff at Amsterdam UMC from March

or for
"[]A new word should not be used in place of a simple word in common use. Cephalalgia for headache is pedantry run wild."[p11]🤓

Why not to pick your nose: Association between nose picking and SARS-CoV-2 incidence, a cohort study in hospital health care workers
Background Hospital health care workers (HCW) are at increased risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2. We investigated whether certain behavioral and physical features, e.g. nose picking and wearing glasses, are associated with infection risk. Aim To assess the association between nose picking and related behavioral or physical features (nail biting, wearing glasses, and having a beard) and the incidence of SARS-CoV-2-infection. Methods In a cohort study among 404 HCW in two university medical centers in the Netherlands, SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were prospectively measured during the first phase of the pandemic. For this study HCW received an additional retrospective survey regarding behavioral (e.g. nose picking) and physical features. Results In total 219 HCW completed the survey (response rate 52%), and 34/219 (15.5%) became SARS-CoV-2 seropositive during follow-up from March 2020 till October 2020. The majority of HCW (185/219, 84.5%) reported picking their nose at least incidentally, with frequency varying between monthly, weekly and daily. SARS-CoV-2 incidence was higher in nose picking HCW compared to participants who refrained from nose picking (32/185: 17.3% vs. 2/34: 5.9%, OR 3.80, 95% CI 1.05 to 24.52), adjusted for exposure to COVID-19. No association was observed between nail biting, wearing glasses, or having a beard, and the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion Nose picking among HCW is associated with an increased risk of contracting a SARS-CoV-2 infection. We therefore recommend health care facilities to create more awareness, e.g. by educational sessions or implementing recommendations against nose picking in infection prevention guidelines.
Denis - The COVID info guy -Nose-picking healthcare workers more likely to catch Covid, data suggests.
Nose-picking (Rhinotillexis) may be underestimated cause of transmission between staff, say researchers.

Nose-picking hospital staff flagged as Covid spreaders
It is widely seen as a bad-mannered and unhygienic habit that can leave the perpetrator red-faced if caught in the act. Some studies have also flagged it as unhealthy as it can introduce alien bacteria to the nasal passages and spread unwanted germs in the opposite direction. As if nose-picking was ...
