Do you pick your nose a lot? According to a recent study, your response may decide your chance of Alzheimer's.

 The latest research indicates that those who pick their noses a lot might be more likely to get Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common kind of dementia.

Western Sydney University researchers carried out the study, which was published in the journal Biomolecules. They concluded that nose picking introduces bacteria into the nasal cavity, or the "olfactory system," after reviewing several previously published research studies.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological illness that causes cognitive function to gradually deteriorate due to the progressive death of brain neurons. The fact that nose-picking is a widespread practice that could induce potentially dangerous bacteria to enter the nasal canal makes it noteworthy to bring up the topic of nose-picking.
It's crucial to remember that this is only one study and that others will be required to corroborate its conclusions. Alzheimer's disease risk is also influenced by other variables, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle choices.
