Okay, this is wild—scientists are looking into whether picking your nose could actually increase your risk for Alzheimer’s. Apparently, dirty fingers can introduce bacteria into your nose, which might travel up to your brain and cause the kind of damage linked to dementia. The study even found that bacteria in mice led to the same sticky plaques seen in Alzheimer’s. Who knew your childhood habit could be so sketchy? #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers
