(CNN) We teach kids not to do it. It s unsanitary. It s just plain gross to see.
Let s be real, though. Most of us pick our noses some 91% according to the only (small and old) study that seems to have ever been done on the subject, perhaps revealing how little even scientists want to think about it. Looking around the world, however, it s not exactly uncommon to see someone with a finger up their nose, either discreetly or not so much, like Queen Elizabeth.

Lots of fun little COVID things to go over. Did you know that cleaning is not really necessary?
At the start of the pandemic, stores quickly sold out of disinfectant sprays and wipes. People were advised to wipe down their packages and the cans they bought at the grocery store.
But scientists have learned a lot this year about the coronavirus and how it’s transmitted, and it turns out all that scrubbing and disinfecting might not be necessary.
If a person infected with the coronavirus sneezes, coughs or talks loudly, droplets containing particles of the virus can travel through the air and eventually land on nearby surfaces. But the risk of getting infected from touching a surface contaminated by the virus is low, says Emanuel Goldman, a microbiologist at Rutgers University.
