COVID-19: Nose picking proves more dangerous than merely being a bad habit Nose picking can create tiny cuts in the nasal cavity and bring contact into the capillary bed, which can become the conduit for viral particle infection. December 31, 2020 08:45 GMT Nose picking may not only be a gross bad habit, but it can also be a means for one to contract the dreaded novel coronavirus and other infections. Indeed, nose-picking is not only unsanitary, but it actually exposes an individual to SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Paul Pottinger, University of Washington School of Medicine professor and an infectious disease specialist, said that the habit can invariably transfer the germs or virus that has latched on to the fingertips into the nose. One may be picking his nose to get rid of the dirt, but he may not know that what is really happening is the opposite.
