Episode description
New research suggests that picking your nose could increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.
Bacteria can travel through the nasal cavity’s olfactory nerve — streamlined through a pick — reach the brain and create markers that are “a tell-tale sign of Alzheimer’s disease,” according to scientists from Australia’s Griffith University.
